Beschreibung

The present item gives an indication of the high spirits, though hardly the brilliant wit , which, according to Quin s entry in the Oxford DNB, afforded him a welcome to high society. 3pp, 16mo. Bifolium, with second leaf slightly damaged at foot by removal from mount. The body of the letter reads: Dear Jesse / Don t you or your fair friends forget Supper at Vun Undred and Vunety Vun Mount Street tomorrow Saturday night at 11 oclock or as soon after it as you can come. / N.B. "No Dogs admitted on these premises under a severe fine & penalty." / thine & my unhappy Country / God save the Quin. Longish postscript asks to know when he is likely to arrive - so that a hot dish I have ordered may not be spilt by waiting. Do you understand Eh? See image of pp.2/3.
