My dear Ralph,
Last year, I remember, you were a little reproachful because I sent Tom Burnaby to Jack at Harrow, and I made you a half promise that possibly at some future date you Taylorians should not be forgotten. I am better than my word. Here is a book—too late for your birthday, but in time for Christmas—which I hope will meet with your good favour.
