 rl’his letter by Charles Lamb, one of the most lovable characters in
English literature, is addressed to his friend Thomas Allsop, the

sill: rerchant, whom he had first met in 1820. He (Allsop) was a friend
and benefactor of Coleridge.

The Lamas probably met Emma Isola on their summer holiday at Cambridge,
in 1820. She was then a girl of eleven, and motherless. ”(lien her father
died in 1823, Charles and ﬁery Lamb adopted her. In 1833 she married
Edward I-ioxon the publisher.

Beclgr Was the servant who had been with then for many years. On account
of her ill temper and tyrannical conduct they were obliged to get rid of
her in 1829, though one account (Patmore) alleges that she left them to
be merried. She had come to them from Hazlitt, whom she had managed, and

in many directions managed the Labs and their household.

At the date of this letter Mary Lamb was in process of “ecovery from

one of her mental upsets.
