James Russell Lowell to James T. Fields, January 1, 1862

Elmwood, Jan. 1, 1862.

My dear Fields, — I sent number two to Mr. Nichols this morning. If I am not mistaken it will take. ’Tis about Mason and Slidell, and I have ended it with a little ballad with a refrain that I hope has a kind of tang to it.

Do you want any more literary notices? I have some Calderon translations I should like to say a few words about.

I wish you and Ticknor a Happy New Year, and remain

Truly yours,
J. R. Lowell
