Scope and content
5 Cheyne Row, Chelsea. - Sorry for the trouble FitzGerald has had with the Naseby monument; hopes the enterprise will be satisfactorily completed next year. Comments on Forster's Life of Dickens: finds in it 'a veritable Photograph of all the days of the years of Dickens, which will be held in some remembrance so long as Dickens himself is considered worth remembering'. Can send Froude's book on Ireland, 'an excellent work', if FitzGerald wishes
[Not in Carlyle's own hand].
