My Dear Sir
    I am truly obliged to you for the beautiful and delicious mint julep you have so kindly sent me. It's quite a mercy that I knew what it was. I have tasted it, but reserve further proceedings until the arrival of Washington Irving whom I expect to dine with me, tete a tete; and who will help me to drink your health, with many thanks to you.
                                                                                     Dear Sir
                                                                                                Faithfully Yours
                                                                                                       Charles Dickens
- Gay (sic) Esquire
