Letter to Mr W-d-d in the General Advertiser signed F. [Woodward and Foote]: Oh! ho! is it come?-What at your Irish tricks again?-No my Dear, they won't do; I am too well establish'd here; Do you think we have so soon forgot your H-n Puffs: you defeat me in Ireland! Very likely; as if we did not know you!-but what you (or the whole Town) could mean by propagating such a report, the Devil take me if I know; unless you have taken an antipathy to the Irish, and found out this method to damn their judgment at once. Which by the Bye, Hal, would be a little ungrateful, considering how you profited by their ignorance. But let what will be the motive, if it produces a piece of Dullness equal to your last, I shan't quarrel at the means, or be uneasy now than then, Yours F. (From my Auction Room). [See 18 March.
