edition, page 211), wherein Mrs. Smith of Cambridge becomes the Widow Blacket of Oxford. "Dr. W."--Dr. Christopher Wordsworth.] LETTERS 250 AND 251 CHARLES LAMB TO THOMAS ALLSOP [No date. ? 1821.] D' EAR Sir-The hairs of our head are numbered, but those which emanate from your heart defy arithmetic. I would send longer thanks but your young man is blowing his fingers in the Passage. Yours gratefully C. L. NOTE [The date of this scrap is unimportant; but it comes well here in connection with the reference in the preceding letter. In Harper's Magazine for December, 1859, were printed fifty of Lamb's notes to Allsop, all of which are reproduced in at least two editions of Lamb's letters. I have selected only those which say anything, as for the most part Lamb was content with the merest message; moreover, the date is often so uncertain as to be only misleading. Letter 251 is, I fear, here out of place. Lamb was not at Dalston in the winter. Crabb Robinson says of Allsop, "I believe his acquaintance with Lamb originated in his sending Coleridge a present of £100 in admiration of his genius."] DR CHARLES LAMB TO THOMAS ALLSOP [No date. ? 1821.] R Sir-Thanks for the Birds and your kindness. It was but yesterdy. I was contriving with Talfd to meet you way at his chamber. But night don't do so well at present. I shall want to be home at Dalston by Eight. I will pay an afternoon visit to you when you please. I dine at a chop-house at ONE always, but I can spend an hour with you after that. Would Saturdy serve? END OF VOL. VI, Yours truly C. L.
