Be mindful also, that your old mother's name, after that of her mother when a maid, is Sinclair: that her husband was a lieutenant-colonel, and all that you, Belford, know from honest Doleman's letter of her,* that let your brethren know. * See Letter XXXVIII. Vol.

But, Belford, didst thou not mind that sly rogue Doleman's naming Dover-street for the widow's place of abode?
