　　LETTER 199

　　(Fragment)

　　CHARLES LAMB TO JOHN MORGAN

　　[Dated at end: March 8, 1811.]

　　There—don't read any further, because the Letter is not intended for you but for Coleridge, who might perhaps not have opened it directed to him suo nomine. It is to invite C. to Lady Jerningham's on Sunday. Her address is to be found within. We come to Hammersmith notwithstanding on Sunday, and hope Mrs. M. will not think of getting us Green Peas or any such expensive luxuries. A plate of plain Turtle, another of Turbot, with good roast Beef in the rear, and, as Alderman Curtis says, whoever can't make a dinner of that ought to be damn'd. C. LAMB.

　　Friday night, 8 Mar., 1811.

　　[This is Lamb's only existing letter to Coleridge's friend, John Morgan.

　　Coleridge had not found a lodging and was still with the Morgans at 7

　　Portland Place, Hammersmith.

　　Alderman Sir William Curtis, M.P., afterwards Lord Mayor of London, was the subject of much ridicule by the Whigs and Radicals, and the hero of Peter Pindar's satire "The Fat Knight and the Petition." It was he who first gave the toast of the three R.'s—"reading, riting and rithmetic."] The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb — Volume 5
