PREFACE.

Though the number of existing "Letter Writers" is many, the publishers feel that there is yet a want which this little Manual, it is hoped, will supply.

It has been compiled with great care from several sources, and contains much original matter, for which experience a.s.sures them there is a necessity.

THE GENTLEMAN'S MODEL LETTER-WRITER.

_Invitation to Dinner_ (_Bachelor's_).

The Albany, June 10th.

DEAR BROWNE,

Will you dine with me at eight o'clock to-morrow? Some of our fellows are coming, and we mean to have a quiet game of whist in the course of the evening. Come if possible.

Yours truly,

DEAR ----,

I will come without fail, and win your money if I can.

Yours truly,

Camden Town, March 4th.

DEAR SMITH,

Will you dine with us to-morrow? It is the old lady's birthday, and I can offer her no greater pleasure, I am sure, than your pleasant company. Do come if you can, there's a good fellow.

Yours ever,

DEAR ----,

I shall be delighted to accept your kind invitation for to-morrow, and offer my good wishes to your charming wife on her birthday.

Yours ever,

DEAR CAPTAIN MAURICE,

Will you favour Mrs. Trevor and myself with your company at dinner on Monday next at 6 o'clock? We expect General Hill and his wife, and think you may like to make their acquaintance.

With our united regards,

Believe me,

Yours truly,
