London,
1811.
My dear Miss Owenson,

If it had not been near making me cry, what I am going to tell you might make you laugh; but I believe you are too good-natured not to sympathize
LADY MORGAN PAINTED BY HERSELF, ETC.443
in some manner with my distress. It never occurred to me that I should forget the direction you gave me, so that having ordered the carriage, and having passed a restless night, I was but just getting up when it was ready. I ordered it to fetch you; where, was the question—at York, was the only answer I could possibly give; for York, alas, is all I remember. Now they say there is a York lane, three York streets, a York place, a York buildings, and York court. I knew no number, but immediately thought of sending to Lady Augusta Leith; the Court Guide was opened, it was for 1810; Lady A. Leith consequently not where she now is, and where either of you are I cannot think; but as I was obliged to go into the country, I wrote this, and take my chance of its ever getting to you. Should you receive it, pray accept of my regrets and excuses, and do not treat me as ill as I have you, but remember your kind intentions some evening. I shall be back Saturday, I believe; but General Leith goes Tuesday.

See me before you leave town, and send me your number and street, I beg of you; the impression you have made is, I assure you, a little stronger, but I never can recollect one direction—do you think the new man could teach me?

Yours very sincerely,
C. Lamb.

My direction is always Melbourne House.
