DEAR MADAM,

I know you are so good as to be satisfied with my short notes, which,

from hurry and laziness, I defer to the moment the post is going out.

I am perfectly well and have entirely thrown off all remains of my

late disorder. Holroyd will be in town in a very few days, and I hope

will furnish me with materials for a more ample Letter. I now write

from Atwood's, a new Club into which I have been chose, and am now

thouroughly established. It is unnecessary to add how much I am,

Dear Madam,

Ever yours,

E. G.
