Her ladyship and the ward of the Fiz-zish-un send their best loves, in which I heartily join. If you and your dear husband come to town before we bring out Bulwer's comedy, I think we must have a snug reading of it.
Ever, dear Mrs. Watson, faithfully yours.
Mr. Mark Lemon.
Devonshire Terrace, Friday, Jan. 31st, 1851.
My dear Lemon,
We are deeply sorry to receive the mournful intelligence of your calamity. But we know you will both have found comfort in that blessed belief, from which the sacred figure with the child upon His knee is, in all stages of our lives, inseparable, for of such is the kingdom of God!
We join in affectionate loves to you and your dear wife. She well deserves your praise, I am sure.
Ever affectionately yours.
Mr. W. H. Wills.
