32 Edwardes Square
Kensington. Feb. 4. [1841]
Is dear Thomas Carlyle master of a strange sum of three pounds in his treasury, for a fortnight to come? - I sigh, rather than blush, to ask it, - knowing the man to whom I speak; & at all events he knows that I am punctual in my re-pay-ments.

32 Edwardes Square Kensington. Feb. 4. [1841] Is dear Thomas Carlyle master of a strange sum of three pounds in his treasury, for a fortnight to come? - I sigh, rather than blush, to ask it, - knowing the man to whom I speak; & at all events he knows that I am punctual in my re-pay-ments. [page break] Plays are delicious things to write & lovely in their proceeds! - but alas for some of the struggles in the intervals to those who have not a halfpenny worth of certainty to retreat upon. On Sunday next I read to the managers - I hope, finally - some alterations [page break] which have given me a great deal of trouble & anxiety; but they bring Farren & Madame Vestris into the play, in the room of actors of less pretention, and I trust will be of great service . Dear Sir, if you are unable to do what I ask, you know you are thoroughly understood by the heart of yours ever truly , Leigh Hunt. [page break] [?] [page break] Thomas Carlyle Esqre . Upper Cheyne Row, Chelsea . Leigh Hunt. |
