TC TO WILLIAM DOUGAL CHRISTIE
Chelsea, Saturday [13 June 1840].
My dear Sir,
Here are certain Documents about the Library; only one of which is important, and that only important to the length of six and sixpence,—for a Times Advertisement,1 which the Thunderer dunned me for today!
I know not what became of Spedding and Lord Clarendon. I could not join them. I wrote to Spedding, but have no answer.
I am very busy; often enough at home till five in the afternoon; then over to Wandsworth region,2 merely for a gallop to sustain life,—and not once in Brick Babylon for days. Cannot you come hither?
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle
Mill is appointed to come to us on Monday night—
Monday.— The Post was missed on Saturday. The Thunderer did get impatient (papae [indeed]!); anxious for his six and sixpence; I have paid him, and now keep the document receipted—good against you!
