AUTOGRAPHY.1
1 See Messenger for February last.
Our friend, Joseph A. B. C. D. &c. Miller, has called upon us again, in a great passion. He says we quizzed him in our last article—which we deny positively. He maintains, moreover, that the greater part of our observations on mental qualities, as deduced from the character of a MS., are not to be sustained. The man is in error. However, to gratify him, we have suffered him, in the present instance, to play the critic himself. He has brought us another batch of autographs, and will let us have them upon no other terms. To say the truth, we are rather glad of his proposal than otherwise. We shall look over his shoulder, however, occasionally. Here follow the letters.
LETTER XXV.
Dear Sir,—Will you oblige me by not writing me any more silly letters? I really have no time to attend to them.
Your most obedient servant,
JOSEPH A. MILLER, Esq.
