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.
