“Dear
Lamb—As we are not sailed yet, and I have a few minutes,
why should not I give you a line to say that I received your kind letter
yesterday, and shall read it again before I have done with it. I am sorry I had
not time to call on Mary, but I did not
even call on my own Father, and he’s 70 and loves me like a Father. I
don’t know that you can do any thing for me at the India House: if you
hear any thing there about me, communicate it to Mr. Crabtree, 13, Newgate Street. I am not dead,
