independent spirit, and care not what ‘THE WORLD’ says.--Your _dear_ Wife wishes me to say that she told the ‘WATCHMAN’ to give a sharp look out, and likewise gave particular injunctions to the Gardener to untie ‘SPHYNX’ every night while you are absent, and turn it into the yard, as you wished.--She likewise wishes me to say you will find your ‘JOURNAL’ and ‘LEDGER’ _secured_ in your iron _safe_, the key of which is--‘in my pocket.’--You must know I am not a stranger to you, my old buck--my name I will make you acquainted with on my return. I have had a ‘WEEKLY REVIEW’ of you and my pretty partner at Church, which has been a ‘WEEKLY REGISTER’ in my thoughts; and likewise a _daily correspondence_ with your then Ward, which has been like _daily bread_ to me.--You have always appeared to me to be the true ‘ENGLISH GENTLEMAN’--that is to say, a true ‘JOHN BULL’ of the old ‘STANDARD;’ but if report speak true, you are very apt to get in ‘THE SUN,’ which I must say is a disgraceful thing, considering ‘THE AGE’ you have now arrived at; therefore, my old cripple, since you are gone to learn the state of ‘THE TIMES’ in London, I am a ‘TRAVELLER’ to to another part of ‘THE GLOBE,’ and have taken the liberty of putting your ‘ATLAS’ in my pocket, as a guide to the different Countries we may wish to visit:--therefore, trusting the _gout_ may prevent you from pursuing us, and also thanking you in behalf of Farmer Stubble, for the great relief you afforded him when he was in distress, and thereby keeping him in out of ‘THE GAZETTE;’ for which, he says, as one good turn deserves another, he has felt great _pleasure_ in taking a _trouble_ off your hands.--Your dear Wife begs you will not make yourself in the least uncomfortable about ---- as she is very happy under the protection of ‘A. STUBBLE.’ and hopes _you_ are equally so with the ‘THORNS,’ and remain, Dear Friend, Your sincere ‘_well wisher_,’ G. H. P.S.--You had best not attempt to come after us, or there will be a civil war, as sure as your name’s March; for the _Ladies_ swear they will _tear your eyes out_, if you come near _them_,; the _Farmer_ swears he will _thrash_ you as long as he can stand over you; and I (as a Soldier) am in duty bound, for the Ladies’ protection, to _shoot_ you--therefore you know your doom.
