My Lady Nicotine

CHAPTER XXIV
26/79

Jimmy's sarcasm--to which that wall-paper can probably still speak--generally took this form: _To G.Buckle, Esq., Columbia Road, Shoreditch_.
SIR:--I am requested by Mr.James Moggridge, editor of the _Times_, to return you the inclosed seven manuscripts, and to express his regret that there is at present no vacancy in the sub-editorial department of the _Times_ such as Mr.Buckle kindly offers to fill.
Yours faithfully, P.R.

(for J.Moggridge, Ed.

_Times_).
_To Mr.James Knowles, Brick Lane, Spitalfields_.
DEAR SIR:--I regret to have to return the inclosed paper, which is not quite suitable for the _Nineteenth Century_.

I find that articles by unknown men, however good in themselves, attract little attention.
I inclose list of contributors for next month, including, as you will observe, seven members of upper circles, and remain your obedient servant, J.MOGGRIDGE, Ed.

_Nineteenth Century_.
_To Mr.W Pollock, Mile-End Road, Stepney_.
SIR:--I have on two previous occasions begged you to cease sending daily articles to the _Saturday_.
