Dear Lady Dacre,
As I am encouraged to say so! I am at least obliged to explain to your Ladyship why it is that I do not express my thankfulness for the kindness of your note and the honor of your visits by immediately waiting upon you in Chesterfield Street. I need not, indeed, invoke Miss Mitford, to dispense my formalities. Dear Miss Mitford is a great teacher of the art of feeling kindness—but then it is, her own kindness—and pray
--------
your very obliged
E B Barrett.
