BEEFSTEAK CLUB
PRIVATE[4] - for yourself and Gotch[5].
My dear Ingram -
Have you seen the Agenda? - Of course you and Gotch must be well to the fore on Tuesday next - and this proposal to return to the old method of election must never pass -
The Wyke Bayliss[6] man must be put down -
In short all that is delightful must be maintained, and all that is tiresome must be trodden underfoot -
Pray present my compliments to Mrs Gotch[7] and make any apologies for prolonging a most charming evening way beyond all known limits -
Always
