George Shee from Mudiford (Hants.): "... but you, atrocious fellow what a production you have sent me! you leave my last letter unanswered for about 4 months. You then write me two pages in reply, which two pages you quietly lock up in your drawer for above 4 months more; tack on a short note of apology like a monkey riding upon a bear, and then modestly desire me to consider this hashed performance as two regular epistles" 4 Apr 1819
