9 Park Place
Hills Court
Exeter, July 28/71
Dear Sir Frederic†
Many thanks for your kind note. I have been on the point of writing to you for some time to say that the master sent me a most kind testimonial and note, which pleased me immensely. Walter is off to Bodmin tomorrow; he looks much better and seems to like being marshal.
There is a gentleman living near here who drove into Exeter the other day and was just going back when one of his servants called Samson came to him dead drunk and asked to be taken home. On the way he talked seriously to him and said—Now, Samson, if I were to get into this state, just think what would happen.—Wellshire, Ishpo you’ld shay Shamson, drive me home; and Ishbe proudooit Shir, proudooit!
Believe me always
Yours most truly
W. K. Clifford.
