TC TO JOHN FORSTER
Chelsea, Friday [1 February 1856]
Many thanks, my industrious unwearied Forster! That will do capitally—and all is right in the end.
I have altered one word with the pen (alteration indispensable); two pencil suggestions are dubious, optional,—especially the 2d; whh I almost believe you will do well to cut out still?1—
Long life to you, dear F—and recommend me to Dickens; and thank him a hundred times for “The Circumlocution Office”;2 whh is priceless after its sort! We have laughed loud and long over it here; and laughter is by no means the supreme result in it.—Oh Heaven
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle
