46 Russell Square, March 19th, 1884.

Dear Gee Gee ("I've spotted you"),—You'd do much more good if you'd just leave Cox and Box alone, and stick to writing what I ask you to. I chuckled over this week's Very Trying, No. VIII. Capital. I've written to Committee, and told 'em Weedon is a much better fellow than you are. Ergo, if they like you, they'll elect Weedon; if they don't like you, still they'll elect Weedon.

Q.E.D.
Yours ever,
F. C. BURNAND.

Dear Mr. Grossmith,—I am very much obliged to you for your note and the photos sent with it. My daughter will write her own thanks for your note addressed to her.

I take the liberty of sending you one of my photographs in return for those you have so kindly sent me.

With many thanks,

I remain,
Very truly yours,
WOLSELEY.
