Description
Excerpt from Mr. Gregory''s Letter-Box, 1813-1830
Correspondence of the Right Honourable William Gregory, 1813 A large iron-clamped, leather covered box at Code bears this inscription.
We sometimes talked, my husband and I, of reading through its contents. Once we even began to do so, but we happened to strike into a vein Of applications for places, and after a few days'' work we tired of appeals on behalf of possessors Of all the virtues who pined for any place, however poor or small, and we gave up the task for the time.
But last winter, being alone, with patience and long evenings on my side, I set to work, and came at last to the bottom of the box.
