There was a Frenchman merchant who had shewn me
some civilities abroad. He was to come to England
some time afterward. I asked him, and he promised
to come and see me. He called but as I
happened not to be at home - he left me his address
thinking it sufficient to mention such a house
in Bell Alley. As it happens, there are 6
and twenty. Bell Alleys in and about London; I
found their namesin the London Directory, and to get
a line conveyed to him, that he might not think delighted
him I could think of no other expedient than sending
a Penny Post letter to each every one of these places.
