76.
To his Stepmother.
Pall Mall, Thursday evening.
Dear Madam,
I wrote last night with twenty people round me, and reperusing your letter this morning, I found I had only forgot to answer the most material part of it; the pews. The thing itself is utterly indifferent to me, but as Sir Hugh has the Manor, I think the compliment is properly due to him, and I will write to him for that purpose to-morrow.
I am, Dear Madam,
Most truly yours,
E. G.
