Guest, The Waveled Monkey, The Sick
Monkey, Study of Lion, and portrait
of Lord Ashburton. The Death OF Gle
opatra, by Raeburn, is an attractive one,
the beautiful queen dead on her throne
of gold, dressed in all her royal attire,
with one attendant dead at her feet, and
Charmion adjusting the diadem, just
about to fall. Thus you pass along,

Our friend Prof. Hervey, of Elm

under blankets. Yours truly,
