Let me by this introduce to you an old and valued friend of mine, J. B. Marvin, who is making a short visit to London on business.
Mr. Marvin is a New Englander, literary, democratic, has a family, and has a position in the Treasury at Washington.
I still continue here, laid up, but working a very little. Best wishes, congratulations etc. on the marriage. Kindest respects to Mrs. Rossetti. I have lately received a good kind letter from Tennyson.
Write soon and freely. I am pretty lonesome here.
