1	1838-1881	The Letters of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow [ID D30134]. Undated To James Thomas Fields Please let me know to-day if possible, whether you send a box to Routledge by the China on Wednesday. I wish very much to put some book into it, if you do. 1838 To Stephen Longfellow ; Cambridge August 23, 1837 The Chinese Puzzle I was puzzled to find : and did not find one worth buying. 1840 To Willis Gaylord Clark ; Cambridge July 5, 1840 The reason I did not inflict my brother upon you was, that he merely passed through Philadelphia ; and being desirous of seeing the Library and that beautiful Chinese collection, I gave him a letter to our friend Smith. 1843 To Julia Ward ; Cambridge Jan. 16, 1843 If the Chinese Proverb be true, that "a coach and six cannot bring back a word once spoken", I beg you to send a coach and seven ; or if necessary two coaches. 1867 To George Routledge ; Cambridge May 24, 1867 I send you to day some sheets of the Paradiso, which may turn out to be duplicates, but I am not quite sure. All the rest have been sent ; in part through your house in New York last week, and in part by the China on Wednesday from here. 1869 To James Thomas Fields ; Camb. Nov. 24, 1869 In the name of the Prophet – Tea ! When shall we go together to China or India (wharf) in pursuit of the fragrant herb ? and where was it we made our last purchase thereof ? 1870 To James Thomas Fields ; Camb. June 28, 1870 If the weather permits I shall come in tomorrow or next day – more likely next day – to take you with me in search of the Blue China. To George Washington Greene ; Nahant July 10, 1870 I wish the Fainéant Congress would rise, and let Somner loose. I agree with him about the Chinese ; and about striking the word white out of every law of the land. [Sumner wrote a report dated June 24, 1870, which advocated the return to China of any surplus remaining of the Chinese Indenmnity Fund after the payment of all just claims]. 1871 To Julia Sumner Hastings ; Cambridge May 18, 1871 May I recall myself to your recollection by introducing my son Charles, who is on his way to Japan and China. To Charles Appleton Longfellow ; Nahant Aug 9, 1871 We have been delighted to receive your letters from the Pacific Steamer and are now looking for tidings from Japan, to tell us that you are well, and well-satisfied with your journey so far. Miss Dora Clark tells us that Arthur thinks of coming home soon, on a visit. I hope he will not have left China before you reach there. 1873 To Charles Appleton Longfellow ; Camb. June 20, 1873 It is so uncertain whether this letter will ever reach you that I do not, or shall not make it very long. It is only a word, to say that we got your first letter from China, a month ago, or more, and since have heard nothing of your movements. 1874 To Charles Appleton Longfellow ; Camb. Feb. 19, 1874 Your description of a trip up the Chinese canals we all greatly liked. Uncle Tom and Sumner insist upon having it published, and I think it ought to be, but don’t know what you would say to it. To Mary Appleton Mackintosh ; Camb. March 3, 1874 Charley we are looking for in a month or two. He has been gone nearly three years ; and has sent from home from Japan and China screens without end and boxes without number. 1877 To Henry Mills Alden ; Camb. Aug 4, 1877 For China. Vase. Jacquemart Plate I. p. 14. – Porcelain tower of Nankin. Jacquemart. P. 55. To Charles Lanman ; Camb. Nov 28, 1877 I shall put it away with The psalm of life written in Chinese on a fan. What I should like now is a literal re-translation of the Japanese into English. In the introduction there is a slight error, which perhaps is worth correcting. It is the Poet not the Potter, who takes the aerial flight, and in imagination visits far-off lands. 1878 To Richard Henry Stoddard. ; Camb. April 28, 1878 I am sorry that it comes to me too late for India ; but it is in season for China and the Nile, and I am very glad to have it. Those regions will be the richer for it. To George Washington Greene ; Camb. April 29, 1878 Here, Poems of places have shut out the dull weather. I have been in India and China and Japan, and am now in Africa, where it is hot and dry enough. To Richard Henry Stoddard ; Camb. May 19, 1878 When I send you the volume of Poems of places containing China, which I will do as soon as it is published, I hope you will not think I have taken too many of your Chinese songs. [Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth. Poems of places : Persia, India, Chinese empire, Japan. (Bosong : Houghton, 1878).] To Edith Longfellow Dana ; Camb. Jan 16, 1878 Rosa had der hover in the Library instead, which was as good as a concert any day ; and I had Miss Bull's old china cup in my study, and wrote my thanks to her in a comparatively long letter. 1881 To Kate Gannett Wells ; Cambridge, Dec 29 (1881). I was never so thoroughly taken to pieces and it will be as hard to put me together again as a chinese puzzle or a dissecting map of world.	Person: Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
