　　LETTER 550

　　CHARLES LAMB TO EDWARD MOXON

　　[Late 1832.]

　　A poor mad usher (and schoolfellow of mine) has been pestering me through you with poetry and petitions. I have desired him to call upon you for a half sovereign, which place to my account.

　　I have buried Mrs. Reynolds at last, who has virtually at least bequeath'd me a legacy of £32 per Ann., to which add that my other pensioner is safe housed in the workhouse, which gets me £10.

　　Richer by both legacies £42 per Ann.

　　For a loss of a loss is as good as a gain of a gain.

　　But let this be between ourselves, specially keep it from A——- or I shall speedily have candidates for the Pensions.

　　Mary is laid up with a cold.

　　Will you convey the inclosed by hand?

　　When you come, if you ever do, bring me one Devil's Visit, I mean Southey's; also the Hogarth which is complete, Noble's I think. Six more letters to do. Bring my bill also. C.L.

　　[I do not identify the usher. Mrs. Reynolds, Lamb's first schoolmistress, we have met. The other pensioner I do not positively identify; presumably it was Morgan, Coleridge's old friend, to whom Lamb and Southey had each given ten pounds annually from 1819.

　　A——- I cannot positively identify. Perhaps the philanthropic Allsop.

　　Southey's "Devil's Visit" was a new edition of The Devil's Walk illustrated by Thomas Landseer.

　　Noble's "Hogarth." Noble was the engraver.] The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb — Volume 6
