 EMERSON, RALPH WAIDO (1803-1882). .
Poet and philosopher. Manchester, England

A.L.S. to "My dear Sir." 2 Mar. [18h8].
3p. (double sheet, octave.)

He cannot come to Birmingham until he goes

to London, and he is setting out on the

day he writes. Speaks of the exciting political
events, and thanks his correspondent for sending
him some papers.

The letter is probably written to a Mr. Evans

of Birmingham, with whom Emerson was known

to have corresponded while he was in England.

The letter is printed in The Letters of Ralph
waldo Emerson, ed. R.L.Rusk (Columbia Univ. Press,
1939), IV, 29. The political events referred to

are the French revolution of 18h8.

 

 2 Fening St, Manchester
2 March. Thursday

My dear Sir,

Many thanks for the kind things you send me,

which draw me anew to Birmingham. But I must

not go thither, I find, until I have first

been ["to" cancelled] in London. I set

forward today, and arrive ther tonight. The

new political sotrms alone constitute a commanding
attraction - to see them in the heart of great
cities.

What shall I render to you for all the fine

thoughts with which you.have loaded my undeservings?
The first papers were valuable to me on the way

to Scotland, and now I have the new; I doubt

not one day soon to give you account of them.

I hate just written a note to Mr. Mathews, and
I pray you still to keep your kindness for me.

Yours with best wishes,

R. UL Emerson
