Note 331 — [Steele.
Reading edition
"The Tories happen now to have other work upon their hands, and are not at leisure to return the civilities that are paid them; however, having had the honour of a letter from the King of France ... they have sent in their answer to me, and desire me to forward it; but I am at a loss how to do this, unless my brother the Tatler will convey it under his cover, for I protest I know no man in England but him that holds a correspondence with his Christian Majesty" (Examiner, No. 2, August 10, 1710).
