Excerpt from Crotchets in the Air: Or, an (Un)scientific Account of a Balloon-Trip, in a Familiar Letter to a Friend
My Dear Tom;
I have purposely postponed a reply to your impatient letter of the 16th instant. I am grateful to you for your kind anxieties upon my account, as evinced by your - "P.S. Pray answer this without the delay of a single Moment." (I give you your own emphatic markings.)
