Felton was preparing a Greek Reader, and translating Menzel's History of German Literature. Longfellow published The Psalm of Lented promenade, was called The Lovers' Chase. The domestic life of Sumner's friends underwent changes. Cleveland and Felton were now both married. The former was living at Pine Bank, near Jamaica Pond, and the latter in a new house he had builts.

I shall, however, see the latter before I leave. I am sorry that I cannot write by this steamer to Longfellow, whose letter I have, and Greenleaf's also, and Felton's. As ever, yours affectionately, Charles Sumner.
