when you were passing
through but my house is
cool and if you had had
time which you clearly had not
I should have been charmed
at your coming. You ask if
I am writing Reminiscences.
No. The world ought to have been
nauseated with them long ago.

Moreover they are often unfair
though perhaps not intentionally
in some cases. I know of cases
in which Carlyle & others have been
quoted as saying to the scrap-monger
things quite contrary to what
was said. Shall I join such
a herd among the husks?

Kindest regards to yourself
and all at Camden whencesoever
gathered.

Yours sincerely
G W Rusden
