Transcript
4 Oct.
I think you somewhere in Nashe raise the question about the use of the expression ‘my lord.’ {1} It is said by Moorhouse in his book on Pepys {2} that Pepys in the diary uniformly calls Sir Edward Montagu ‘my lord’, even before he [be]came Earl of Sandwich.
Ever yours
G. C. Moore Smith
I got a good holiday in the Highlands, Oban, Skye &c.
[Added on the back:] But apparently he was one of the Lord Commissioners of the Treasury in 1658.

Postmarked at Sheffield S.D.O. at 9.45 p.m. on 4 October 1909. Marked in pencil ‘Nashe’.
{1} The expression is referred to several times in Vol. IV: see pp. 87 (note on i. 153, 22), 194 (note on i. 329, 22), 416, and 419. It is not clear which instance Moore Smith had in mind.
