‘I am almost ashamed to tell you that all your letters came safe, and that I have been always very well, but hindered, I hardly know how, from writing. I sent, last week, some of my works, one for you, one for your aunt Hunter, who was with my poor dear mother when she died, one for Mr. Howard, and one for Kitty.

‘I beg you, my dear, to write often to me, and tell me how you like my little book.

‘I am, dear love, your affectionate humble servant,

‘SAM. JOHNSON.’

‘May 10, 1759.’
