Keep your good spirits up, dear B. B., mine will return; they are at present in abeyance, but I am rather lethargic than miserable. I don't know but a good horsewhip would be more beneficial to me than physic. My head, without aching, will teach yours to ache. It is well I am getting to the conclusion. I will send a better letter when I am a better man. Yours truly, Letter LXXIX. April, 1824.

LXXIX. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Paris, 17 May, 1868 I have a little respite, since they are not going to bring on the confinement. I hope to go to spend two days at that dear Croisset. Say yes, at once. I embrace you and I love you. G. Sand I shall not go with you to Croisset, for you must sleep, and we talk too much.

His beard he sometimes clipped, and sometimes shaved; and either read or wrote during the operation.
Your faithful friend, LXXIX. To MR. RICHARD BROWN. MAUCHLINE, 7th March 1788. I have been out of the country, my dear friend, and have not had an opportunity of writing till now, when, I am afraid, you will be gone out of the country too. I have been looking at farms, and, after all, perhaps I may settle in the character of a farmer.
