In stating that my
trifling exertions for the return of such a patriot are more than doubly
recompensed by your noble conduct, may I be allowed to suggest the earnest
wish of my eldest son to be in town, for the pleasure of being near such a

landing-waiter you so kindly insisted upon his preparing for. You will, I

Believe me, with united regards from Mrs. F. and Joseph, ever your staunch
supporter and admirer,
FUNK FLAT.

ANSWER TO THE SAME, FROM GRIPE GAMMON, M.P.
_St. Stephen's_.
DEAR AND KIND CONSTITUENT,--I am more than happy. My return for your

My dear Funk, yours ever,
GRIPE GAMMON.
