Summary
Saying he is working very hard and that "the closing of the work of seventeen years...has for the present extinguished me;" saying "the nearer I come to an end, the more the thing occupies me with all the parts of it at once. I have done, I hope, with all writing--except letters--when this is done, for seven years at least."
