MY DEAR SIR,

Will you come and breakfast with me on Tuesday, the 22nd, at half-past

ten? Say yes. I should have been truly delighted to have a talk with you

to-night (being quite alone), but the doctor says that if I talk to man,

woman, or child this evening I shall be dumb to-morrow.

Believe me, with true regard,

Faithfully your Friend.

[Sidenote: Mr. W. C. Macready.]
