1767. Thursday, March 5.--l at length obliged Dr. D. by entering into the lists with him.
The letter I wrote (though not published till two or three weeks after) was as follows:
"To the Editor of Lloyd's Evening Post.
"Sir,--Many times the publisher of the Christian Magazine has attacked me without fear or wit; and hereby he has convinced his impartial readers of one thing at least--that (as the vulgar say) his fingers itch to be at me; that he has a passionate desire to measure swords with me. But I have other work upon my hands: I can employ the short remainder of my life to better purpose.
