George Ticknor, Life, letters and journals of George Ticknor (ed. George Hillard), Chapter 24: (search)
he ever made me, that he was reduced to one third. It seemed to me very strange, but I now find that my time is come, and coming. I feel constantly a great weariness, and avoid all the work I can, except reading, of which I have not yet begun to tire. I hope it will last me out, especially my love of old books; but I do not know. I care little about new ones. During the year past you have been very good to me, and I take much pleasure in acknowledging it. Your letter about Mr. Herman Merivale came before he did, which I think is always an agreeable circumstance in letters of introduction. I was very glad to see him again, and liked him better the more I knew of him. He was a good deal with us, and I did for him gladly what I could during the few days he stayed here. When you see him, pray give him our kind regards, and ask him to come again. I thank you, too, for a copy of the thirteenth report of the Civil Service Commissioners. It is very interesting and curious.
