My dear Grossmith,--One line to say "Thank you;" another from my mother to repeat the "Thank you." The two joined make the words bear their fullest measure of truth, and your kindness is very pleasant to Yours sincerely, CLIFFORD HARRISON. ------ Dear Mr. Grossmith,--I will (D.V.) be there on the 4th. Many thanks. Yours ever truly, M. E. BANCROFT. ------ 46 Russell Square, _March 19th_, 1884. Dear Gee Gee ("I've spotted you"),--You'd do much more good if you'd just leave _Cox and Box_ alone, and stick to writing what I ask you to. I chuckled over this week's _Very Trying_, No. VIII. _Capital_. I've written to Committee, and told 'em Weedon is a _much better_ fellow than you are. _Ergo_, if they like _you_, they'll elect Weedon; if they _don't_ like you, _still_ they'll elect Weedon. Q.E.D. Yours ever, F. C. BURNAND. ------ 6 Hill Street, _24th May_, 1884. Dear Mr. Grossmith,--I am very much obliged to you for your note and the photos sent with it. My daughter will write her own thanks for your note addressed to her. I take the liberty of sending you one of my photographs in return for those you have so kindly sent me. With many thanks, I remain, Very truly yours, WOLSELEY. ------ _May 14th_. My dear Grossmith,--I am desired by the Duke of Albany to invite Mrs. Grossmith and yourself to lunch at Claremont, on Friday next, before the concert. A train leaves Waterloo for Esher at 12.15, by which I hope you will come. Please send a line in reply to the Comptroller of the Household, Claremont, Esher; and Believe me, Yours very sincerely, ALEC YORKE. ------ Sainte Croix, Upper East Sheen, Mortlake, _June 13th_, 1887. My dear George Grossmith,--I hope there is no doubt about you and your wife giving us the pleasure of sharing our housewarming on the 6th prox.; for, in addition to the gratification of having you both with us, I want you to volunteer a song on the occasion. . . . You mustn't ridicule the idea of my giving a housewarming at my time of life, for on the 27th inst. I shall have achieved my 70th year; but the meeting of old friends under a new roof will be a cheery event to look back upon by an aged pilgrim who is starting a new family home in his 71st year. With kindest regards to Mrs. Grossmith, Believe me, My dear George Grossmith, Faithfully yours, T. GERMAN REED.
