SIDNEY TO ROGERS, A PLAYMATE OF MINE. MY DEAR SYD., If you laugh heartily at the Pictures in this Book, I sh have labored in vain: If you feel glad that the Rhymes are as y I remember them, and recognise the few old ones, now printed first time, it will add to the satisfaction I shall feel. When you have looked well at the other Cuts, please not to the little children at the corners of the pages; they represent all ferent sorts of boys and girls that I could easily call to mind. And, with love to all at home, Believe me to be, My dear little Boy, Your affectionate friend, CHARLES H. BE LONDON, November, 1857. |
