TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE
Chelsea, Wednesday—[8 July 1846]
Only a word of salutation to thee, dear little Child,—the best good-day, if I could give it!— This Letter must be an acknowledgement of Cromwell, I suppose:—be not sad, my Dearest; not sad,—this world is earnest and divine, not sad. My poor little Jeanny, Jeany!—
Yesternight came Bölte;1 came the Willises,2 unspeakable in weariness! I had lain down for afterdinner nap, and they staid till near ten. I left my Index at Putnam's;—I am full of tagraggeries.
Wilt thou send me word thou art eating two ounces of food aday now! God bless thee ever.
T. C.
