It will give Longfellow the greatest pleasure to see Signor Rossi in Hamlet. Letter is addressed "Dear Sir."

Longfellow mentions hearing that Mrs. Clark was in Rome when he was in Naples in the spring of 1869, and regrets that he was not able to meet her then. Makes reference to reading her book of travels "with great delight" and says he awaits the new volume impatiently. Tells her that her father came out to lunch with him and that the little picture of the Sphinx she gave him now hangs on the wall.
This undated note is addressed to an unidentified male, and thanks him for a tree, and accompanied a gift of the writer's autograph (signature), which is no longer with the note. There is an inscription at the foot: 'written 28, Jan 1844'. This item bears the earlier collection number (accession number) [M]337, and is accompanied by an exhibition label.
Thanks Knorr for both her letter and her new volume of poems, which he has been reading "with delight." Quotes "those admonitory works of Shakespear" ("The flighty purpose never is o'ertook/ Unless the deed go with it." (Macbeth Act IV, scene i)). He has also received the two volumes of Graf Wickenburg, but he requests that Knorr relay the message of his thanks, since he does not have Wickenburg's address. With envelope addressed to Knorr, 1 Wollzeile 1er Stock, Vienna, Austria.
Longfellow thanks Freiligrath for his two letters, but he explains that he has been deprived entirely of the use of his eyes and by an affection of the nerves. Refers to his recent marriage to Fanny Appleton and his being "idle as a lord" and having "some idea of what a man's life must be who can neither read nor write." He has planted some acorns and "as the oak grows for a thousand years, you may imagine a whole line of little Longfellows, like the shadowy monarchs in Macbeth, walking under their branches, through countless generations, 'til the crack of doom.'" He shares Freiligrath's ideas about translations, and mentions that he is just beginning a volume of specimens of foreign poetry. Asks Freiligrath to thank Simrock for his Macbeth. Only the signature of this letter is in Longfellow's hand.
