Carlyle, Thomas [Robert Burns]

[ translate ]

2 fragments of letters by Carlyle, both signed 'T. Carlyle', 5 Cheyne Row, Chelsea, 1853 and n.d., commenting perhaps on his biography of Burns 'I have not read these Proofs; but I find several errors here and there, and therefore return them with the copy' and on the forthcoming biography of Burns: 'I think the Burns is now nearly altogether correct; at any rate I will commit wholly to you ; desiring to see no more of it till Mr Chapman send me 12 copies in the finished edition,' torn, folds (2)
Note: Carlyle's biography of Burns was published by Chapman and Hall in 1854.
