Summary
Asking for his help with the misdirection of a parcel containing six copies of his Sartor Resartus; adding "You give me no Edinburgh news; which I regret, for my supply in that kind is very disproportionate to my demand, of late years. I see no Edinburgh men, few Edinburgh letters, hardly even any Edinburgh books. The last Number of Tait (procured by special endeavour) is the only one for months. Will you apropos of this present my kind remembrances to Dr. Dequincy, my respects and affectionate wishes for him; everything he writes I even while dissenting from it can eagerly read. You also appear to suppose that my connexion with Fraser's Magazine is Something and not Nothing. A total radical Error; which however is probably not of much moment;" sending his regards to his friends in James's Square.
