[Norton refuses Mead's request to write a lengthy letter concerning the career of the late Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) but instead sends him a copy of his brief notice of Carlyle's death written for the Annual Report of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences of which Carlyle was a Foreign Honorary Member]
