Dear Robinson

1 find I must start tomorrow so must put
off the pleasure of dining with you till my return
of which I shall duly notify Cadwalader‘ I need not
add What a delight and refreshment it was to strike
you two on the Bothnia. I don’t mean to let the
happy chance be thrown away and shall stir you up
occasionally so that we may not relapse into mere
acquaintance again. If you are like minded you will
look us up on your next visit to England. Why not
bring your daughter and leave her here with us while
you go up to London- Hy address will be

Rugby, Tennessee,
for the next 5 weeks

Ever,yours
Th2 Hughes
timber desires me to thank you for your
kind invitation and to say that though he cannot

dine with you tomorrow he hopes to look you up on
his return some 5 weeks hence.

 

 

Thomas Hughes (1832—1896) author of Tom Brown's School
Days (1857) was educated at Rugby and Oriel Colleges,
Oxford. He first visited the United States in 1870, when
he made Lowell e acquaintance. His subsequent visits were
connected with a project commenced in 1879 which at first
awakened all his enthusiasm, but later proved unsuccessful
and was abandoned by him. In connection with friends he
bought a large estate in Tennessee on which a model com~
munity was to be established. After he withdrew from the
project, his mother remained with her youngest son and
lived there until her death ten years later. The place was
named Rugby. The letter therefore may be dated in 1879.
The Robinson addressed is thought to be Moncure Robinson
a friend of both Hughes and Lowell.
