As these
are _never opened_, all that is required is a well-written direction, on a
_blank sheet of paper_.
(Seventhly.)
FROM SONS TO FATHERS.
(Several.)

JOSKIN, SEN.
N.B. By altering the relative positions and sexes, the above is good for
all relations! If writing to nabob, more flattery in letter of asker.
Strong dose of oaths in refuser's answer.

FROM "DEAR AND INTIMATE" TO A "DITTO DITTO."
_Brighton_.
MY DEAR TOM,--How are you, old fellow? Here I am, as happy as a prince;
that is, I should be if you were with me. You know when we first met! what
a time it was! do you remember? How the old times come back, and really
almost the same circumstances! Pray do you recollect I wanted one hundred
and fifty then? isn't it droll I do now? Send me your check, or bring it
yourself.
Ever yours.
FITZBROWN SMITH.
T. Tims, Esq.
