neighbors? a day from London to Liverpool; twelve or eleven to
Boston; and an hour to Concord; and you have owed me a visit
these ten years.

I mean to send with your January _Dial_ a copy of the number for
Sterling, as it contains a review of his tragedy and poems, by
Margaret Fuller. I have not yet seen the article, and the lady
affirms that it is very bad, as she was ill all the time she was
writing; but I hope and believe better. She, Margaret Fuller,
is an admirable person, whose writing gives feeble account of
her. But I was to say that I shall send this _Dial_ for J.S. to
your care, as I know not the way to the Isle of Wight.

Enclosed in this letter I send a bill of exchange for L32 8s. 2d.
payable by Baring & Co. It happens to represent an exact balance
on Munroe's books, and that slow mortal should have paid it
before. I have not yet got to Clark, I who am a slow mortal, but
have my eye fixed on him. Remember me and mine with kindest
salutations to your wife and brother.

Ever yours,
R.W. Emerson
