Miss Sally Appleby,

Madam,

Understanding you have a parcel of heart, warranted sound, to be disposed of, shall be willing to treat for said commodity, on reasonable terms; doubt not, shall agree for same: shall wait of you for further information, when and where you shall appoint. This the needful from

Yours etc.

Gam Pickle

This laconic epistle, simple and unadorned as it was, met with as cordial a reception from the person to whom is was addressed, as if it had been couched in the most elegant terms that delicacy of passion and cultivated genius could supply; nay, I believe, was the more welcome on account of its mercantile plainness; because when an advantageous match is in view, a sensible woman often considers the flowery professions and rapturous exclamations of love ensnaring ambiguities, or at best impertinent preliminaries, that retard the treaty they are designed to promote; whereas Mr. Pickle removed all disagreeable uncertainty by descending at once to the most interesting particular.
