“By Cot’s plessing we will not be absence at the grace.”
DEAR C.,—We long to see you, and hear account of your peregrinations, of the Tun at Heidelburg, the Clock at Strasburg, the statue at Rotterdam, the dainty Rhenish and poignant Moselle wines, Westphalian hams, and Botargoes of Altona. But perhaps you have seen nor tasted any of these things.
Yours, very glad to claim you back again to your proper centre, books and Bibliothecæ,
I have only got your note just now per negligentiam periniqui Moxoni.
