“Keswick, Dec 14. 1837.
“My dear H. T.,

“. . . . . It cannot often have happened that any one should have a lost wife brought to his mind in the way that I am continually reminded of my poor Edith. Before any of my children were old enough to make extracts for me, it was one of her pleasures to assist me in that way. Many hundred notes in her writing (after so many have been made use of) are arranged among the materials to which every day of my life I have occasion to refer. And thus she will continue to be my helpmate as long as I live and retain my senses. But all these notes bring with them the vivid recollection of the when and the where,
Ætat. 64. OF ROBERT SOUTHEY. 357
and the why they were made; and whether the sight of her hand-writing will ever be regarded without emotion, is more than I can promise myself.

“God bless you!

R. S.”
