I know you think it odd that you have not heard further, and, perhaps blame my negligence or engrossing cares, but, if so, without good reason. I have to-day received a letter from Griswold, in Philadelphia, who says: “The article by Thoreau on Carlyle is in type, and will be paid for liberally.” “Liberally” is quoted as an expression of Graham’s. I know well the difference between a publisher’s and an author’s idea of what is “liberally”; but I give you the best I can get as the result of three letters to Philadelphia on this subject.

  Success to you, my friend! Remind Mr. and Mrs. Emerson of my existence, and my lively remembrance of their various kindnesses.

Yours, very busy in our political contest,
Horace Greeley
