TC TO HORACE GRANT
Chelsea, 2nd May 1836
My Dear Sir,
Mill has gone to Brighton; I do not know his Address there; and apply to you as my likeliest resource. The inclosed1 is too weighty for a Member's Frank: but perhaps you have, at any rate, official communications with the absent man. If I had the address, I could probably procure some Government Frank myself. You must do the best you can. Nay, for that matter, the Packet might to [sic] torn open without offence, and made into two Packets, each under an ounce.
I was lately within wind of the India House; yet could not get so far. I think I have not seen you with eyes since that morning in Smithfield? No: you were here since that; but even this is many weeks ago. Were the East-wind over, we shall expect to see you some evening very soon. At six is tea: except Tuesday next, I know not that we are to be from home any night this fortnight.
Believe me ever, / My Dear Sir, / Yours most truly, /
T. Carlyle.
My Wife has a Cold, blame to this scandalous weather; but she fails [not] to send you her regards, her special wishes to know how you are.
