handsomest style,--silver and goold plate at breakfast, lunch, and
dinner; and his crest and motty, a beehive, with the Latn word
_Industria_, meaning industry, on _everything_--even on the chany
juggs and things in my bedd-room. On Sunday we were favoured by a
special outpouring from the Rev. Grimes Wapshot, of the Amabaptist
Congrigation here, and who egshorted for 3 hours in the afternoon in
Mr. B.'s private chapel. As the widow of a Hoggarty, I have always
been a staunch supporter of the established Church of England and
Ireland; but I must say Mr. Wapshot's stirring way was far superior to
that of the Rev. Bland Blenkinsop of the Establishment, who lifted up
his voice after dinner for a short discourse of two hours.

"Mrs. Brough is, between ourselves, a poor creature, and has no

grate: and let Mrs. Titmarsh look up my blue silk dress, and turn it
against I come; and there is my purple spencer she can have for
herself; and I hope she does not wear those three splendid gowns you
gave her, but keep them until _better times_. I shall soon introduse
her to my friend Mr. Brough, and others of my acquaintances; and am

"Your loving AUNT.

"I have ordered a chest of the Rosolio to be sent from Somersetshire.
When it comes, please to send half down here (paying the carriage, of
course). 'Twill be an acceptable present to my kind entertainer, Mr.
B."

This letter was brought to me by Mr. Brough himself at the office, who
