My dear Sir,
I owe you a very particular apology for this long delay; but I have been hoping, from hour to hour, to see Carlyle, & nominate your day of meeting, & time has been torn out of my hands by twenty unforseen things, & I have not even yet seen him. I beg your pardon for this, & your kind patience for a few days longer, when the distractions, at the mercy of which I am at present, must terminate. Meantime I return the Journal, rejoicing to see you in hands at once so respectful & able, & much pleased to find a very welcome collateral defense of myself, from the rashness of a critic, unacquainted with what he undertakes to characterize. Many thanks

My dear Sir , I owe you a very particular apology for this long delay; but I have been hoping, from hour to hour, to see Carlyle, & nominate your day of meeting, & time has been torn out of my hands by twenty unforseen things, & I have not even yet seen him. I beg your pardon for this, & your kind patience for a few days longer, when the distractions, at the mercy of which I am at present, must terminate. Meantime I return the Journal, rejoicing to see you in hands at once so respectful & able, & much pleased to find a very welcome collateral defense of myself, from the rashness of a critic, unacquainted with what he undertakes to characterize. Many thanks [page break] also for your enclosures, which will be turned to due & valued account. I want to see you much for my own sake, as well as for that of your visit to Carlyle; as I have certain speculations regarding the nature of the Repository & its new year's commencement, for which I should like to have the sanction of those who were kind enough to put it into my hands;-nothing, be sure, unworthy of them; only I would by no means do it, unless they thought it good . Will you acquit me of presuming upon your goodnature, if I ask you to drop me another line, stating what day or days, if any, would suit you to come to Chelsea next week ; [page break] & I trust I should be able to answer it by return of post, Carlylically . Ever, my dear Sir , Your obliged & faithful servant , Leigh Hunt . R.H. Horne Esqre . &c. &c. |
