P.S. You have a friend called
Baring whom - from what I
have heard of him - I regret
I don't know.

He writes books wh. I am
ashamed to say I have never
read.

Would you mind sending on
a p.c. to our mutual friend
Wilson of Bumpus's the
names of two suitable for my
order of intelligence (if B. has ever
struck so low a note), &
tell him to send here & charge to
my a/c? In that way
a fraction of the retailer's profit
will return to my own coffers.
Who said the Scots were not
a careful race? F.S.O.
