SD1295. Ralph Waldo Emerson to Frederic Henry Hedge
As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 14, 367 (in part).
Concord
7 Nov. 1846
My dear Hedge,
Will you not have the goodness to inquire at your Post Office for a letter which was addressed to me from home. …
I found in town yesterday a precious piece of gossip from London that “Bells & Pomegranates” is engaged to “Seraphine” or Miss Barrett; who is, you know, the divine bed-rid, to whom Miss Martineau’s “Invalid” Book was dedicated.
