To Captain Fitzgerald.
Yes, I give permission; you may come this afternoon: there is
something amusing enough in your dear nonsense; and, as my father will
be at Quebec, I shall want amusement.
It will also furnish a little chat for the misses at Quebec; a
_tête à tête_ with a tall Irishman is a subject which cannot escape
their sagacity.
Adieu! Yours,
A. F.
