　　LETTER 417

　　CHARLES LAMB TO WILLIAM HONE

　　[No date. Early July, 1827.]

　　Dear H., This is Hood's, done from the life, of Mary getting over a style here. Mary, out of a pleasant revenge, wants you to get it engrav'd in Table Book to surprise H., who I know will be amus'd with you so doing.

　　Append some observations about the awkwardness of country styles about Edmonton, and the difficulty of elderly Ladies getting over 'em.——

　　That is to say, if you think the sketch good enough.

　　I take on myself the warranty.

　　Can you slip down here some day and go a Green-dragoning? C.L.

　　Enfield (Mrs. Leishman's, Chase).

　　If you do, send Hood the number, No. 2 Robert St., Adelphi, and keep the sketch for me.

　　["This" was the drawing by Hood. I take it from the Table-Book, where it represents Mrs. Gilpin resting on a stile:—

　　[Illustration]

　　Lamb subsequently appended the observations himself. The text of his little article, changing Mary Lamb into Mrs. Gilpin, was in the late Mr. Locker-Lampson's collection. The postmark is July 17. 1827.] The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb — Volume 6
