My Dear Sir ,—As is my usual custom, I write a few lines at this season of the year to keep you informed of the respective improvement—physical, moral, intellectual—of your sons.

Dear Sir ,—It is with the most profound regret that I have to report to you that your elder son has disappeared from the school, and that there rests on him, and on another thoroughly bad boy, named Jones, more than a suspicion of dishonesty. Your son, as treasurer of the first eleven of cricket ...

Sir ,—You and the Prime Minister may go to the devil. I am ready to meet you or any other psalm-singing scoundrel like you whenever you like, but I suppose you're too big a cur to fight. If I have any more of your impertinence I'll have you horse-whipped. The lad's a deuced fine lad. I don't beli...

My dear Mother It is all settled and we start in two days in fact we shall have started before you get this. I did not write before because I was afraid you would come up to London.

Pump Court, Temple, London, July 4, 1844. Dear Mrs. Leward, —I heard only quite recently of the death of Mrs. Herbert. I knew some time ago that she could not be expected to remain with you long, and I was therefore not unprepared for the sad intelligence. How strange it seems, though, to hear of...

San Francisco, October 1849. Dear old Bampton Just a few lines to tell you we have got here for a wonder for I had to do all the navigating myself the old man wasn't the least use. It is smooth almost all the way. We went close by the Navigator Islands a bleak rugged looking place from the sea. A...

Dear old Man ,—Saunders told me he had written to you, so I thought it unnecessary especially as there is not much news except what you will see in the papers about six mounths after the events they record. I am never quite certain either that anything I write will reach you. I send this to San F...

Dear old Bam Only a few lines to let you know where I am now and what I am going to do next most likely. I thought you would like to know. As I told you I got awfully tired of Australia and as I made enough there to live on for some time besides what I sent you I thought I might as well see a lit...

Dear old Man Here I am awfully tired and disgusted. If I began at the beginning and went straight through I should have to write such a lot you would soon be tired of reading it. I suppose you read all about it in the newspapers only the newspapers make such a lot of mistakes it makes us laugh so...

Dear old Man I daresay you are tired of reading my letters but its a sort of consolation to have some one to write to to tell some of the things one thinks about. I suppose you read all that rot about me and the shell in No. 5, as though any one else wouldn't have done the same if he cared a lot ...
