DEAR PUNCH,--I hasten to forward you the awful letter enclosed--we
are all abroad here concerning it--by the bye, how are you all at
home--to say the least, it certainly does look very ugly. Mrs. P.,
I hope, has improved in appearance. Something terrible is
evidently about to happen. I intend to pay you a visit shortly. I
trust we may not have to encounter any more Guys--you may expect
to see me on my Friday. I can only add my prayers for the nation's
safety and my compliments to Mrs. Punch and the young P.s.
Yours ever,
