Chapter 122

CHARLES LAMB TO THOMAS ALLSOP

[Dec. 5, 1825.]

Dear A.--You will be glad to hear that _we_ are at home to visitors; not too many or noisy. Some fine day shortly Mary will surprise Mrs. Allsop. The weather is not seasonable for formal engagements.

Yours _most ever_,

C. LAMB.

Satr'd.

[Here should come a note to Manning at Totteridge, signed Charles and Mary Lamb, and dated December 10, 1825. It indicates that both are well again, and hoping to see Manning at Colebrooke.]
