THE ANSWER of a LETTER to an OFFICER at HEREFORD is, “That he Was.”
A CARD.—If the Lady who a Gentleman handed into her carriage from Covent Garden Theatre, on Wednesday, the third of this month, will oblige the Advertiser with a line to Z. Z., Spring Garden Coffee House, saying if married or single, she will quiet the mind of a young Nobleman, who has tried, but in vain, to find the Lady. The carriage was ordered to Bond Street. The Lady may depend on honour and secrecy. Nothing but the most honourable interview is intended. The Lady was in mourning, and sufficiently cloathed to distinguish her for possessing every virtue and charm that man could desire in a female that he would make choice of for a Wife. Deception will be detected, as the Lady’s person can never be forgot.
ELIZA’S Second LETTER has been received. The Inserter of this candidly acknowledges a pre-engagement; but if “Eliza” wishes for further explanation, she will please to address herself to the Inserter’s Father.
TO ELIZA.—It is with deep regret the Person feels himself again called upon publicly to address ELIZA on the subject of her very unpleasant Letters, after repeated solicitations to discontinue them. He is perfectly satisfied in his own mind to have acted honourably towards her, for her peace of mind sake has candidly and unreservedly made known to her his situation, consequently she well knows he cannot in honour, even if he were disposed, accede to her wishes. It is useless for her therefore to trouble him with more, or to write elsewhere, as she may rest assured, from him they will meet with the fate of the two last, which were committed to the flames unopened, and likewise in the other quarter, the contempt they justly merit.
MATRIMONY.—The friend of a Gentleman (a Bachelor), about 26, who is a Man of good property, agreeable person, and in an old-established profitable Business in one of the best and most fashionable streets at the West-end of the Town, wishes to see him made happy by an honourable union with an amiable Female of good education, pleasing manners, and some property. This Advertisement is inserted by his Friend without his knowledge, by which means he hopes to introduce a Lady to his wishes, and prevent the possibility of prejudice on his part by this too common channel of information. Any Lady (Widow or Spinster) not exceeding 30 years of age, who may answer this Advertisement (not out of curiosity only), may depend on secrecy, and the greatest honour and most respectable reference, by addressing a line to Mr. Thomas Price, to be left at the Printing-office, Grocer’s Hall-court, Poultry.
TO a LADY.—The GENTLEMAN who lately received TWO LETTERS from a Lady, is extremely sorry that the first did not reach him in time to avail himself of its contents, and thereby escape the Rebuke contained in the second. He will shortly be obliged to leave Town in a few months for Ireland. If this should meet the eye of his Fair Correspondent, he hopes she will honour him with another, directed as the last, between this and Saturday.
IF the GENTLEMAN (supposed a Foreigner) who kindly took a YOUNG LADY from No. 13, Charlotte-street, Rathbone-Place, to Bristol, the beginning of September last, will appoint a Place and Time of Meeting with the Advertiser, whose discretion and secrecy may be depended upon, it may be attended with real benefit to the young Lady. Direct to D. G., at John’s Coffee-house, Cornhill.
INCOGNITA’S elegant and well-composed EPISTLE, of the 19th instant, has had all the impression that possibly could be expected: another, with real name and place of abode, may be safely ventured. An immediate intercourse is earnestly requested by
LEANDER.
MATRIMONY.—A TRADESMAN, in a pleasant part of London, wishes to meet with a PARTNER for LIFE. A handsome face is not so much his wish as an agreeable, prudent Person; a Widow would not be objected to if her age did not much exceed his own, which is under 30. Some fortune is expected. A line to A. B., under cover to Mr. Woffington, No. 41, Lombard-street, post paid, will meet with the strictest honour and secrecy.
A.B. C.
TO M——A M——E. “Forget” you? By Heaven I cannot! Engraven on my soul is your memory, in deepest characters, which time vainly will endeavour to efface, contracted as now must be its span, since without one remonstrance, one expostulation, you can resolve for ever to forget me. Wherefore, then, often warned, persist in exciting a reluctant, indeed, but never more unfeigned, sensibility, only to wound it? DO I DESERVE THIS? Is it generous? Is it equitable? But severe no longer, welcome now, is the mandate of authority, enjoining oblivion of
ORL——O.
ACARD.—H. J. A. presents his most respectful compliments to the Catholic Widow Lady, residing near London-bridge, and earnestly requests a speedy interview. Should this meet the Lady’s, or any of the family’s eyes, it is for obvious reasons desired that this may meet the attention which the nearest relationship pleads for. An answer, addressed to the Blossoms Inn, Lawrence-lane, Cheapside, will be attended to.
IF the YOUTH THAT LEFT ISLINGTON on Sunday evening can remember that he ever had a Mother, he is informed he will soon be deprived of that blessing, except he immediately writes with particulars, or personally appears before her. His friend will redress any circumstance, and settle every point to his satisfaction.
WEST SMITHFIELD.
THE LETTER of J. A. has been received this morning: the person to whom it was addressed will be happy to receive a further communication, and assures the writer that everything friendship can dictate will be done for him if he will send a line where a letter may be addressed to him: he thinks it needless to pledge his honour that secrecy will be observed, and his own inclinations alone be consulted.
OCTOBER 9th, 1804.
B.
A.
TO D. P.—IN ANSWER to D. P.’s note, the sum proposed is 3000l., which will be lodged in the hands of his Banker, or any one else he may appoint. The next, addressed to Newmarket, will be duly attended to.
ACARD.—If Mr. A., who had such a delightful Row to Battersea, on Monday, the 27th of last month, will call or write, everything can be explained to his satisfaction.
MR. T. BARRALET begs leave to remind his Friends who knew him thirty years ago, that he is alive and in good health.—South Lambeth, July 2.
IF the LADY who met a CLERGYMAN in the Greenwich Coach, on Thursday, May 18, will send her address at Somers Town, to Rev. W. J., at the Turk’s Head Coffee-house in the Strand, she may accomplish the declared object of her wishes immediately.
ALADY who passed a Gentleman on Monday, the 17th of this month, in Hart-street, Bloomsbury, about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, without speaking to him, is anxious for an opportunity of seeing him again, any time after the 7th of January.
IF the Gentleman who met a LADY in Gracechurch-street, on the evening of the 9th of November last, and walked with her to the lower end of Bishopgate-street, and then waited till her return, and then accompanied her into the City, will be at the exact spot where he waited for her, at 8 o’clock on Wednesday and Thursday next, she will meet him, having something of importance to communicate.
SEPTEMBER 9, 1811.
A.B.’s LETTER is acknowledged with thanks, and further information is solicited most earnestly; no expense or labour will be spared in the pursuit of that justice which has hitherto been sought in vain; honour and secrecy may be relied on always.
PHILIP.—Would PHILIP like to hear of his MOTHER’S DEATH?
G.B.—If every manly feeling is not extinct in you, you will return directly. It is false shame to leave a woman to combat difficulties that you could not withstand. You are vilified, as if you were a bad man, and that by persons whose indulgence you might expect. Your presence may reverse what has been done. It will relieve those who love you, from distress the most unutterable.—April 27. R.
G.B.—If you could conceive the sorrow and despair into which I am plunged, I am sure you would at last let me hear from you; this unkindness distracts me more than all the rest; with you I could suffer every privation; your absence only aggravates our miseries; you have still friends left, whose kindness can obliterate past recollections. S. B.
E.Z. is particularly expected; he will find a Letter in Cheapside.—Saturday morning, March 20, 1819.
F.K. B.—RECEIVED.
“’TIS WELL.” H. H.—London, September 4, 1820.
H.H. begs leave to acknowledge receipt of J. A.’s communication, and to inform him, that he need not hesitate in naming the harbour and using his own oars.—London, September 1, 1820.

“Z.AGAIN.—CASE UNTRUE.”
Z.
R.—YES.—What was required has been done, but the Advertiser earnestly solicits that the affair may drop; there is risk without use. No news is good news, he requests only to know when an union has taken place.
JOE to JACK.—SURRENDER!
The Anonymous Writer can have no copy of his first Letter. “Ruinous exposure” are not words in course. He must drop his mask, or forfeit his self-respect. Having seized upon the judgement-seat, he should know no rest till he has traced the accusation through all its windings, till he either by proof establishes, or, in his own person, absolutely acquits from that “claim” which is most unequivocally denied. Let him “reflect then.” The wanton cruelty imputed, even in his last letter, would leave a stain never to be effaced.
“CÆSAR BORGIA.”—Labor improbus omnia vincit. W. L. R. nunc 30. Brompton row.
ICONSENT to any, every condition, rather than a continuance of this lengthened—this too justly dreaded—separation.
ICONSENT to everything that can be suggested to procure a reconciliation, which I have for a long period anxiously desired.
IENTREAT YOU to KEEP to YOUR WORD, or it may be fatal. Laws were made to bind the villains of society.
COUNTERSIGN.—Letters from me to you are not safe. Depend upon my secrecy and honour. Fare thee well.
RESPECTFULLY; Confidence has been betrayed.
MEMORANDUM.—Suspicions are unfounded.—Slanders from Hypocrites and story-tellers ought not to be credited—no unknown circumstance can be credited.
IF the GENTLEMAN, whose conversation was interrupted a fortnight ago (by an exclamation of—“Sir, you will lose your handkerchief,” and also by a carriage driving suddenly into Portland-place), wishes to renew it, he will find the curiosity that then lay dormant has since been excited, therefore the information volunteered, if he has not left town, may be sent to C. D., twopenny post-office, 88, Oxford-street.
TO L——A.—It is impossible to approve or justify the step L——a has taken. How much unhappiness her conduct has occasioned, and still occasions, cannot be conceived. All that remains to those whom she has so deeply afflicted is to lament that any one brought up in a knowledge of the duties of virtue and religion could ever be induced to depart so widely from what they enjoin.
Z.may make the experiments to which he alludes in his letter in the presence of H. M. C. without fear of endangering his personal safety.
W.D. is informed that his RESOLVE was, as delicately as possible, duly communicated, and that the same was received with as much fortitude as could be expected. The children are well, and their mother, though very wretched, yet as composed as under the painful circumstances she could be. W. D. is requested to write again, giving a detailed account on a particular subject, from his new residence, when decided upon.
H.
“IDO.” London.
E.O. L. THANKS C. K. V. The circumstance was by direction, but seems to have been overdone.
WISH, but CANNOT YET. All kind. M. R.
H.Has not the slightest desire to act contrary to a wish expressed in the manner it has been, had such been the intention, which it never was. H. wishes it to be understood that, were some points cleared up, every feeling, once expressed, would be felt the same even now. H. hopes that this may yet be done; it would give extreme pleasure.
THOU wert bidden to eat of my bread, and to drink of my cup—come, they shall be made sweet to thee, thy name is safe and ever dear—come, come quickly, I will GIVE and thou shalt ENJOY, be thou yet RETAINED to cheer a blighted home.
DOES R. A. wish to FORM an ALLIANCE with the LADY? If so, his parents will consent. WRITE.
EXTRACT from LETTER, dated November 1, 1839.—“All that I have to say, however, is for you to write directly to Lady * * * * * * * *. Return without a moment’s loss of time, and all will be adjusted.
“W.E. J. S.—£100.”
J.H. REJECTS the FIRST Proposition of T. U., and will avail himself of the second. As to T. U.’s inquiry, J. H. aver “No.”
C.* * * * * * may implicitly rely upon the honour and SECRECY of his friend, and that his only intention is to oblige and befriend. C. should know his friend better than to imagine that any form of words would more effectually bind the man, whose Christian and surname each contain six letters.
