There are some quaint and pithy epistles on record. Quin, when offended by Rich, went away in resentment and wrote : "I am at Bath." The answer was a laconic, though not quite so civil : " Stay there." Doctor Carter, tho great shot, says :— "Hit an orange in the centre and it will vanish from sight." People often notice that the orange vanishes pretty suddenly from sight when attacked on the circumference by a small boy.
