Paget in any way our superior.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
PUNCH.
Sir John Pollen, Bart.
_Redenham, July 30, 1841._
SIGNOR,--I have just received a note in which you complain of a speech made
by me at Andover. I have sent express for my Lord Wilkshire, and will then
endeavour to recollect what I did say.
I have the honour to be, your admirer,
JOHN POLLEN.
To Signor Punch.
_White Hart._
SIGNOR,--My friend Lord Wilkshire has just arrived. It is his opinion that:
I did use the terms "Punch, or any other puppet;" but I intended them to
have been highly complimentary, as applied to Lord William Paget.
I have the honour to be, your increased admirer,
JOHN POLLEN.
To Signor Punch.
_Wellington Street._
SIR,--I and the Colonel are perfectly satisfied. Yours ever,
PUNCH
_Wellington Street._
MY LORD,--It would have afforded me satisfaction to have consulted the
wishes of Sir John Pollen in regard to the publication of this
correspondence. The over-zeal of Sir John's friends have left me no choice
in the matter, I shall print.
Your obedient servant,
PUNCH.
