TC TO OCTAVIAN BLEWITT
Chelsea, 6 March, 1853—
Dear Sir,—Maccall hopes to wait upon you tomorrow some time between two and four: I have sent by him a Note for the Committee; and here in the meanwhile are two other small documents for your private perusal.1
Poor M. looks a great deal better within the last week. I have insured him (as I had good reason) a kind reception from you; and with the aid of which there is fair anticipation from your Benevolent Institution, I really begin to have clear hopes for the poor man. May blessings rest on the heads that deserve such:—indeed we have it written, “the quality of mercy is twice blessed!”2
I return many thanks for your humanity last night;—and shall hope to hear from you again when this business is decided.
Believe me
Yours very sincerely /
T. Carlyle
