beautiful Emma rowing a one-armed Admiral in a boat! It will certainly
be caricatured. Well done, farmer's wife! I'll bet your turkey against Mrs. Nelson's; but, Sir William and I will decide. Hardy says, you may be sure of him; and, that he has not lost his appetite. You will make us rich, with your economy. I did not think, tell Sir William, that impudence had got such deep root in Wales. I send you the letter, as a curiosity; and to have the impudence to recommend a midshipman!

However, I have wisdom enough to laugh at their folly; and to be, myself, your most obliged and faithful friend, NELSON & BRONTE. Best regards to Sir William, Mrs. Cadogan, and all friends. |
