Discussing the distribution of the profits from the 'Reminiscences' and his intent to give Mary [Carlyle] "half of the profit of everything which I might publish--Carlyle said not a word to me about it, but I did tell him once that he need be under no anxiety about Mary. I would care for her as for a daughter of my own;" discussing, at length, the physical abuse that Mrs. C[arlyle] endured during her marriage and what she confided of this abuse to her close friend Geraldine [Jewsbury] who in turn confided it to him [Froude] as she was dying; saying that "The wear and tear of her [Jane Welsh Carlyle] life shattered her nervous system and brought on the strange illness of which she died."
