Summary
Concerning the biography of Dr. Martineau; saying "I do not gather that the biographers see any limit to their labour. They only say that the work will certainly not be ready this year. My own impression is that as both are slow writers, their print task will hardly be completed & published till next year is out. I cannot think that Miss Martineau could wish you to withhold reminiscences which might prove of so much use to the memoir."
