Chapter LXI: Letter LX: To Mrs. H

Charles Street, April 9, 1778.

DEAR MADAM,

I HAVE to thank you for repeated favors--and I do most sincerely.--You have a pleasure in doing acts of kindness--I wish from my soul that your example was more generally imitated.--I have given to the care of Mr. W---- one of Giardini’s benefit-tickets--which I present not to you, Madam, but to Mr. H----, that he may judge of fidlers’ taste and fidlers’ consequence in our grand metropolis--the ticket was a present from the great Giardini to the lowly Sancho--and I offer it as a tribute of musical affection to thy worthy partner--and with it, to both, the sincereest best wishes and respects of their much obliged servant,

IGN. SANCHO.
