He must bring the surgeon's bill with him, which I will discharge immediately on receiving it. Nor can I conceive the reason of his not acquainting Frank with the state of my unfortunate quadrupeds. Dear Pigot, forgive this
petulant
effusion, and attribute it to the idle conduct of that
precious
rascal, who, instead of obeying my injunctions, is sauntering through the streets of that
political Pandemonium
, Nottingham. Present my remembrance to your family and the Leacrofts, and believe me, etc.
