“My dear dear Mother,
If you don’t let me come home I die—I am all over ink,
and my fine clothes have been spoilt—I have been tost in a blanket, and seen a ghost.
I remain, my dear dear Mother,
Your dutiful and most unhappy son,
Freddy.
P.S. Remember me to my Father.”
—Frederick Reynolds (18th century)
