I trust you will be up bright and early tomorrow to herald forth the day of
the GREAT MAN himself!!
I expect (but have doubts) to see every foreigner ensconced in this country
to be stood by the roads and streets exhalting HIMSELF with loud and
raucous renderings of RULE BRITANNIA and much wailing and gnashing of
teeth. My flag is prepared for hoisting and I shall have myself a glass of
grog at midday, the time when all we old tars had their daily tot.
Mercury.
