6/217 Yes, Sir; here has been Mr.Patriot, with the county petition to sign; and Mr.Failtime, that owes so much money, has sent to remind you of your promise to bail him. Here is more of the plaguy comforts of going anonymous, that one can neither serve one's friend nor one's country. Damn it, a man had better be without a nose, than without a name. I will not live long in this mutilated, dismembered state; I will to Melesinda this instant, and try to forget these vexations. |
