My Dear Captain—I have just had the honour of receiving your letter of Thursday last. I can scarce describe the vast delight afforded me by the writings which you so obligingly inclosed, intitled "Fifteen Reasons Why Bonaparte is Surely a Corsican." I vow, I would not have believed it possible for such a prodigiously charming essay to exist! You may readily comprehend my desire to apprise my dear Aunt and Sister of this most amiable and delightful essay! I now imploy my days in copying out these writings so that I may speedily acquaint my loved ones with them.—Yours very sincerely, L. Forster.
