'I can feel for the "constitutional indolence" of which you complain - for it is one of my own besetting sins. I am excessively slothful, and wonderfully industrious- by fits. There are epochs when any kind of mental exercise is torture, and when nothing yields me pleasure but solitary communion with the mountains and the woods.'
