[Hand pointing right] The ceremony of waiting on ladies and
gentlemen at their houses with bills, has been for some time
left off in this company: the frequent solicitations on
these occasions, having been found rather an inconvenience
to the person so waited on, than a complement: For which
reason, Mr. Hallam, hopes the town will dispense with a
personal application, and favour him with their company.
