On opening it he perceived that it could not have been intended for him.

It ran as follows: MY DEAR JULIANA O'LEARY, I have got a promise from Colambre, that he will be with us at Tusculum on Friday the 20th, in his way from the county of Wicklow, for the collation I mentioned; and expect a large party of officers; so pray come early, with your house, or as many as the jaunting-car can bring.

And pray, my dear, be ELEGANT.

You need not let it transpire to Mrs.O'G--; but make my apologies to Miss O'G--, if she says anything, and tell her I'm quite concerned I can't ask her for that day; because, tell her, I'm so crowded, and am to have none that day but REAL QUALITY .-- Yours ever and ever, ANASTASIA RAFFARTY.
P.S .-- And I hope to make the gentlemen stop the night with me; so will not have beds.

Excuse haste, and compliments, etc.
