lth, as in a careless habit of writing,
and a peevish vanity which causes him to shut his eyes to his faults.
The question of original capacity I will not moot; one may think very
highly of the honorable baronet's talent, without rating it quite so
high as he seems disposed to do.

And to conclude: as he has chosen to combat the critics in person, the
critics are surely justified in being allowed to address him directly.

With best compliments to Mrs. Yellowplush,
I have the honor to be, dear Sir,
Your most faithful and obliged
humble servant,
JOHN THOMAS SMITH.

And now, Smith having finisht his letter, I think I can't do better than
clothes mine lickwise; for though I should never be tired of talking,
praps the public may of hearing, and therefore it's best to shut up
shopp.

What I've said, respected Barnit, I hoap you woan't take unkind. A
play, you see, is public property for every one to say his say on; and
I think, if you read your prefez over agin, you'll see that it ax as a
direct incouridgment to us critix to come forrard and notice you. But
don't fansy, I besitch you, that we are actiated by hostillaty; fust
write a good play, and you'll see we'll prays it fast enuff. Waiting
which, Agray, Munseer le Chevaleer, l'ashurance de ma hot cumsideratun.

Voter distangy,

Y.
