We are doing very well but should and &lt;u&gt;will&lt;/u&gt; do better.— Said you not that you had another little poem for us?

Editor of "The Daily Register" Philadelphia.— He has published a long and esquisite review of the book. Of the four copies you sent me the other day One was in perfect +++ the last page. So I shall take the liberty of returning it. I believe I have now received thirteen copies.

I find that I must give away more than I anticipated. I requested Mr. Ticknor to have a copy bound handsomely in calf for me. This of course is an extra matter. Do you know if the package I sent on to you care for Mary Howitt was forwarded during your absence? I hope so. and that the expense of forwarding was charged to me. &lt;u&gt;If&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;it was not I wish to&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;know.&lt;/u&gt; That I may remit to Mary Howitt.

I was sorry not to have been at home when you called you and Whipple. very sorry not to be able to hear Whipple's lecture. Give my love to him and tell him I feel the disappointment yet.— I have not been very well of late. have +++ myself ill for the death of my father who died on the 15th rather suddenly, though he had been longer invalid. We thought he would at least live until the spring, and I hoped to see him again&lt;br /&gt;I have just received&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;span&gt;envelope] James T.

He should also send all the remaining copies to her as soon as possible aside from those sent to England.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, Greenwood asks Fields whether the package for Mary Howitt was forwarded during his absence and whether the expense was charged to her.
