MADAM:As some day must be fixed for sending the boys to school,do you approve of the 8th of next month?By which time the weather will probably be warm and settled,and you will be able to equip them completely.

I will upon that day send my coach to you,to carry you and the boys to Loughborough House,with all their immense baggage.I must recommend to you,when you leave them there,to suppress,as well as you can,the overgrowings of maternal tenderness;which would grieve the poor boys the more,and give them a terror of their new establishment.I am,with great truth,Madam,your faithful,humble servant,CHESTERFIELD.
