Transcript	4. Upper Cheyne Row - Chelsea April 3. My dear Sir, I have just this minute received your kind and welcome letter, every word of which is made doubly precious to me by reasons which I need at present do no more than allude to. I find, that even a difference between two spirits made (I trust) to harmonize with & uphold each other, is no exception, in the long run, to the beautiful saying of the poet about the soul of goodness in things evil, if men will be but wise & kind enough to fetch it out; and as I have long felt nothing but kindness & thanks towards you, so your present conduct makes me proud to feel them, & to rejoice in owning myself in more than one instance the obliged person. Good God! Worldly success is a very fine thing, & sometimes a very excellent & humane thing, & proper for a thousand benevolent reasons; yet the kindly feelings are still the top & flower of it all, & beautiful for their own sakes, & apart from it. Be pleased to accept the heartiest [?] of my hand. You will see by the letter inside the enclosed packet, what I had written to you last night, before I was aware of your having made any communication to me through the office in Crane Court. The gentleman who brings you this, & who was the proposer of the work to me & is a nephew of Mr. [?Bolt] the barrister, will avail himself most gladly & thankfully of any suggestions you are kind enough to make him, respecting the business part of the work; and I need not say what a good they might be to me. I have a share in the work for editing it, & if it succeed, it will be success to me indeed, & blessing incalculable. I will do myself the pleasure /of/ as soon as possible of calling on you in Ludgate Street, and thanking you again for all kindness to Yours ever most sincerely, Leigh Hunt. To Charles Knight Esqre Write / -- / two more letters, one for Mr. Fry. Charles Knight, Esqu. 22 Ludgate Street. Thanks for the musical library which I was just going to send out to buy, when your letter came.
