Scope and content
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.
