MR. DAISH,--_The uncomfortable events of Wednesday evening compel
me to announce that I cannot contemplate with equanimity the
protracted Sojourn of Mr. Lovely at your hitherto peaceful House. I
have no desire to inflict upon you the invidious course of summary
Ejection, but at the same time I am bound to invite a trifle less
cordiality in your Reception of all young gentlemen unperturbed by
the Gout. The town of Curtain Wells exists for the supply of
hygiastick Waters; and, since red wine is a notorious antidote to
chalybeate, my civick brother the Mayor begs me to point out that
we cannot lend our patronage to a house which studiously encourages
the circulation of this antipathetick Beverage. In expectation, Mr.
Daish, that you will presently reconstruct at once your list of
wines and your list of visitors,_
_I am, Mr. Daish, your obliged_
