TC-RMM, [? 1837]. MS: Trinity College, Cambridge. Carlyle had met Milnes by July 1836 (see TC to JAC, 14 July 1836, where he had refused a dinner invitation). In TC to JAC, 21 Sept. 1837, Carlyle similarly misspells Milnes as “Mylnes.” As they had many friends in common they could have met at any time after Milnes' return to London in 1835. [To maintain the order established by the editors of the CL, this letter has been assigned a document date of 31 Dec. 1837.]
