story published in Harper - of "the Bride of Sandick" which was a long time being commenced and at last proved to be a very ordinary affair. - Apropos of stories - I have been reading Bleak House. & Hard Times by Dickens - . "Hard Times" is a nice story by that interesting writer - . Autobiographies seem to be the sage among the literati - . I suppose you have read Fanny Fern's - entitled Ruth Hall which every body knows is herself, notwithstanding that her publishers have issued a refututory card -

Give my love to the friends who care any thing about me if there are any at The Grove - and pardon this rambling sort of a letter - and I'll do better next time.
