Chapter LXXXV: Letter LXXXIII: To Mrs. I

Charles Street, Jan. 22, 1779.

DEAR MADAM,

MY wife wishes to see Cymon--and my wishes (like a civil husband) perfectly correspond with hers.--I had rather be obliged to you than any good friend I have;--for I think you have an alacrity in doing good-natured offices--and so I would tell the Q----n if she dared dispute it: you are not so great indeed--but I am sure you are as good--and I believe her to be as rich in goodness as she is high in rank. If my request is within the limits of your power, you will favour us with the order soon in the day. I have looked abroad for the wonder you wished to be procured for you--but have met with nothing likely hitherto.

Yours most gratefully,

I. SANCHO.
