MY DEAR HENRY,

O! O! O! D---- the Pantechnicon. O!

I will be at Tavistock House at twelve on Saturday, and then will wait

The infamous ---- says the stoves shall be fixed to-morrow.

to do so, the, O! I should go---- O!

Ever affectionately.

P.S.--None. I have torn it off.

[Sidenote: Miss Mary Boyle.]
