March 22, 1861
In Boston I was much interested in looking over Leigh Hunt's
library which J. T. Fields bought and had for sale. It carried one nearer to a
past era in English literature than anything else could do, to see his name and
notes, all written in ink, in a delicate Italian hand and very abundant.
