Chapter 225

CHARLES LAMB TO EDWARD MOXON

[No date.]

Calamy is _good reading_. Mary is always thankful for Books in her way. I won't trouble you for any in _my way_ yet, having enough to read. Young Hazlitt lives, at least his father does, at _3_ or _36_ [36 I have it down, with the _6_ scratch'd out] Bouverie Street, Fleet Street. If not to be found, his mother's address is, Mrs. Hazlitt, Mrs. Tomlinson's, Potters Bar. At one or other he must be heard of. We shall expect you with the full moon. Meantime, our thanks.

C.L.

We go on very quietly &c.

["Calamy" would be Edmund Calamy (1671-1732), the historian of Nonconformity.

Mr. W.C. Hazlitt in his _Memoir of Hazlitt_ says that his grandfather moved in 1829 to 3 Bouverie Street, and in the beginning of 1830 to 6 Frith Street, Soho. Young Hazlitt was William junior, afterwards Mr. Registrar Hazlitt and then seventeen years of age.]
