Thomas Campbell to Hunter Gordon, [1830?]
“31, Upper Eaton Street.
“‘My dear and worthy friend,’ as
Chancellor Bach would say, you must
excuse me for not dining with you to-day, for I am engaged in drawing up our
manifesto, and in doing other work, that more properly belongs to that long,
grinning mountain cat—your friend G——,
(Here there was an attempt at drawing a cat, more like a
crocodile.)
“Give my best love to your wife,
“and believe me
“Yours affectionately,
Adolphus Bach (d. 1870)
