' I was much gratified by your giving me Eugene Aram to do - & then just as I was setting to it "tooth and nail" - some events in the family of a friend of mine forced me to go out of town, & took all my attention forcibly away from my task. However my article is now in full progress - & I write to tell you so that you may expect it next week. One thing I am plagued about - Colburn has been too stingy to give me a copy - & getting it from a library it is continually sent for back It is a wonderful and divine book - though so very sad' [Letter to John Bowring]
