Sarah Walker to William Hazlitt; 17 January [1822]
“London, January 17th [1822].
“Sir,
“Doctor Read sent the
‘London Magazine,’
with compliments and thanks; no letters or parcels, except the one which I have
sent with the ‘Magazine,’ according to your directions. Mr. Lamb sent for the things which you left in
our care, likewise a cravat which was sent with them. I send my thanks for your
kind offer, but must decline accepting it. Baby is quite well. The first floor
is occupied at present; it is quite uncertain when it will be disengaged.
“My family send their best respects to you. I hope,
sir, your little son is quite well.
“From yours respectfully,
“S. Walker.
“W. Hazlitt, Esq.”
