80. To his Stepmother.

Pall Mall, June the 26th.

Dear Madam ,

Your Wastecoat is most universally admired, and I shall be much obliged to you for another exactly the same. I hope to pay my respects to Mr. and Mrs. Gould (to whom I beg my compliments) some time next week, but cannot yet fix the day. In the meantime I am in wonderfull haste, just going to Vauxhall.

Dear Madam, Ever Yours, E. G.
