LAST LETTER TO MOTHER

One of the most beautiful letters ever written was addressed by the

Scottish essayist and historian, Thomas Carlyle, to his mother, Margaret Carlyle.

The letter was found when a friend went over Carlyle’s papers after his death

and it bore the inscription: “My last letter to my mother.” It read...

My dear, good mother,

Let it be ever a comfort to you, however weak you are, that you did your

part honorably and well while in strength, and were a noble mother to me and

to us all. I am now myself grown old and have had various things to do and

suffer for so many years, but there is nothing I ever had to be so much thankful

for as the mother I had.

That is a truth which I know well, and perhaps this day again it may be

some comfort to you. Yes, surely, for if there had been good in the things I have

uttered in the world’s hearing, it was your voice essentially that was speaking

through me. Essentially what you and my brave father meant and taught me to

mean, this was the purport of all I spoke and wrote. And if in the few years that

may remain to me I am to get any more written for the world, the essence of it,

so far as it is worthy and good, will still be yours.

May God reward you, my dearest mother, for all you have done for me!

I never can. Your son, Thomas.
