I agree with Wendall when he says that because he had tried to help out his old friend Marmeladov to the best of his ability, that he no longer feels guilty, and that he will now be a new, carefree, person. Knowing the unstableness in Raskolnikovs life, I dont think that this "guiltless" feeling will last for long. He even told Sonya, Marmeladov's daughter, not to worry because he would now work and provide for her and the rest of her family so that they would be able to live. I think that he also said this to make himself feel like a better person, as if this nice act would cancel out the terrible murder he committed before. But Raskolnikov doesn't even leave his house, let alone work, so I have no idea how he will provide for this family when he cant even look out of provide for himself. He will soon realize that he hasn't done much at all, and the murder will continue to come back and haunt him.
