Saturday afternoon.
My Dear Fellow:
I came to seize you and take you down to dine at our club — where we expect
Motley — for your soul's salvation or body's, at least. Send that foolish
Council away till Monday. A man who has no respect for Saturday afternoon, has
but one step to take, to join in abolishing the 4th of July. “The Court, having
considered your case, do adjudge,” that you come — if you can't come now, come
down half an hour hence — to Parker's.
Yours,
E. R. Hoar.
