To Mr. Robert HOLLAND, Linen-Draper, No. 194, Tottenham Court Road, London.
DEAR BOB,
Hoping you are well, and well-doing, we have heard such wonderful accounts in our parts lately about animal magnetizing, without any clear notion what it is.
My own notion is, it must be something new of my Lord Spenser’s—Althorp as was—who was always very curious about his beasts.
Others do say the Duke of Bedford, with a fresh cattle show—nobody knows.
Now you are just at the fountain-head to learn, and as most of us down here is more or less engaged in breeding stock, it would be a main thing to be put up to the secret at its first start.
WRINGING OUT THE OLD YEAR.
