Keston Lodge, Beckenham. - Pleased to get FitzGerald's letter; regrets that FitzGerald has not visited him in Chelsea for 'these many years'. Has been here for the last five weeks 'in the daintiest of little hermitages... alone with my niece and the pure breezes and charming woodlands, green knolls and hollows of lovely Kent'; the house has been provided by Lady Derby. Description of how he spends his time; recently drove over to Eltham to see the palace there, having been once many years ago with Godefroi Cavaignac 'to see poor Edgeworth, whom you will remember, who had nestled himself snugly enough in some corner of that huge ruin & whom we found duly with his little Spanish wife by unluckily no "Pupils". Looked for 'some trace... of poor Edgeworth and his nest, but, alas, could find nothing: that side of the palace had all been cobbled up and plastered over....' for some City businessman.

Carlyle and his niece intend to stay in Beckenham a little longer and will return to Chelsea when the weather breaks, Is very glad to hear of FitzGerald's 'sympathy with "Tooley" [Olaf Haraldsson]'; he and his cousin Olaf Tryggvason are a pair of 'chosen heroes' to Carlyle.

[Probably in the hand of Carlyle's niece Mary, but signed by him].

The Hill, Dumfries, N. B. [North Britain, i.e. Scotland]. - Regrets that their 'poor little enterprize [putting up a monument at Naseby] is definitively forbidden' to them. Knows that the time FitzGerald has spent on this 'cannot be repaid you, dear old friend, except by my pious thankfulness...', but asks him to tell him how much money he has spent so that he can pay half.

The day after tomorrow he and his 'blithe little niece' will leave here for Chelsea. Letter not in Carlyle's hand [perhaps his niece Mary's?] but signed by him.

'My dear & very dear Sir.

I do not know in the least who you are, but I do with all my soul pray you to find and translate some more of Omar Khayyam for us: I never did till this day read anything so glorious to my mind as this poem - (10th, 11th, 12th pages, if one were to choose) - and that & this is all I can say about it. More - more - please more. - & that I am ever

Norton to Carlyle, 13 Apr. 1873, 33 Cleveland Square W. - Regrets not being able to see Carlyle, and hopes for better weather. Encloses a note written by Ruskin and addressed to 'the Translator of Omar Khayyam'. Ruskin 'took a fancy to the productions of the reprobate poet, and he left this note with an acquaintance of mine to be forwarded to the translator if ever his name should be discovered'. Norton asks Carlyle to send it on,

Note, dated 14 Apr. 1873, from Carlyle to FitzGerald added at bottom of Norton's letter. Describes Norton as 'a distinguished American... an extremely amiable, intelligent & worthy man' with whom he has recently spent time. Norton has 'brought to my knowledge, for the first time, your notable Omar Khayyam, & insisted on giving me a Copy from the third edition, which I now possess & duly prize'. Carlyle has, from talking to him 'identified, beyond dispute, the hidden 'Fitzgerald', the Translator, & indeed found that his complete silence & unique modesty in regard to said meritorious & successful performance was simply a feaure of my own Edward F! - The translation is excellent; the Book itself, a kind of jewell in its own way'.

2930 Avalon Avenue, Berkeley 5, California. - Is very grateful to Young for sending him the books, is 'now inspired to go ahead with the bibliography of your published writings - that is, those on mountain subjects'; will have to come to England to do this, and has accepted the appointment from the Sierra Club to be its representative at the Centenary of the Alpine Club in November. Will spend two or three weeks in Britain around the event, and hopes to have the opportunity of visiting Young. Would very much like the pamphlet 'The Influence of Mountains upon the Development of Human Intelligence'; will soon send him a paper on Drake's visit to California in 1579.

Sends best wishes for Young's 'enjoyment of the Alpine Club celebrations in Wales and in the Alps'

H5 Great Court, Trinity College. - Scott and Jack Longland did 'the library chimney climb last night in the bright moonlight'; they took [Young's] guide and read it by moonlight at the bottom of the chimney. George Trevelyan was going to accompany them, but had a meeting and missed them. They took a look at the library face on the New Court side'; comments on problems of climbing it, with illustrations; 'part of the programme of the next meet on Saturday next', unsure whether it will be a 'new climb or not', as Young only records a downward climb with a rope. Young has added a pencil note at the end 'They did it, I think'.
