    SIZES MIXED. ee s. addressed to Thos. Preun, Esq., Woodbine Lodge, Cheltenham : lee pp. 400, Oct. 23, 1808 : . As soon as I go home, I shall settle the point you mention with. the Brethren of the Lodge. You have Masons enough to pay at home, and you decree wisely ... Another Edition of your vaccine work will instantly be call’d for. Many I present to are astonish’d and wonder they never heard of it. Lawrence has made a famous picture out of the bad stuff he had to work upon... I never saw myself before on canvass. . Mrs. Jenner has at length found what you and I observ’d she was so strenuously seeking for, a bad cold ... How wonderfully constructed is the female mind and we [may] as well confess while we are about it, the male too... ; i . As we advance we look back with surprize and sorrow on our past inadvertencies and endeavor by deliberately employing our accumulated stock of knowledge to be correct in our pro- ceedings. We set our great machine to work, which we have been putting together with all the assiduity and ingenuity we could TMUSTEY .t. «, CEG, cerning his attendance on the Duke of SAS during his indisposition at Gloucester . It wd. have been a much better thing if nothing had been said about Cheltenham, as it was sure to rouse from their slumbers the spirits of the antivaccinists. I fear the controversy can now never end, without a full and candid investigation. The result of this would be most triumphant and consign the snarlers to disgrace and contempt, etc. ONE OF THE FINEST JENNER LETTERS EVER OFFERED FOR SALE.
