To his Stepmother.
Pall Mall, April 27th, 1771.
Dear Madam,
It is very near eleven o'clock, and you know that I am a very dry Writer. I only wish to tell you that I am well, and that I hope you are so.
How do you like Sir John Dalrymple?[140] I hope Bricknall is not idle, and should think it high time for him to have done.
I am, dear Madam,
Most truly yours,
E. G.
