LETTER CCCXX
TO CHARLES AND PHILIP STANHOPE
I RECEIVED a few days ago two the best written letters that ever I saw in
my life; the one signed Charles Stanhope; the other Philip Stanhope。
As for you Charles; I did not wonder at it; for you will take pains;
and are a lover of letters; but you; idle rogue; you Phil; how came you
to write so well that one can almost say of you two; 'et cantare pores et
respondre parati'! Charles will explain this Latin to you。
I am told; Phil; that you have got a nickname at school; from your
intimacy with Master Strangeways; and that they call you Master
Strangeways; for to be rude; you are a strange boy。 Is this true?
Tell me what you would have me bring you both from hence; and I will
bring it you; when I come to town。 In the meantime; God bless you both!
CHESTERFIELD。
