SIR, ONE of the earliest and most pleasing Reminiscence in my literary life, is my acquaintance with your father.--When we were both young, his various learning and elegant accomplishments attracted my attention and reverence; his long political career, ever marked by honour, integrity, talent and beneficence, was beheld by his numerous friends with delight and respect; and in these feelings, and the joy of seeing all his great and good qualities revived in his son, no one participated more than myself. It is pleasing to me to have this opportunity of reca ding the friendship with which he and yourself have so long honoured me. Wh the greatest regard, I have the honour to be ur obliged and obedient Servant, CHARLES BUTLER. Lincoln's-Inn, 28th Feb. 1822. |
