TO THE SAME,AT LONDON
MADAM:The last time that I had the pleasure of seeing you,I was so taken up in playing with the boys that I forgot their more important affairs.How soon would you have them placed at school?When I know your pleasure as to that,I will send to Monsieur Perny,to prepare everything for their reception.In the meantime,I beg that you will equip them thoroughly with clothes,linen,etc.,all good,but plain;and give me the account,which I will pay;for I do not intend that,from,this time forward the two boys should cost you one shilling.I am,with great truth,Madam,your faithful,humble servant,CHESTERFIELD.
