"Anti-Sot's" small perpetration, from which I gather that,'although opposed to licensed ■■:- victuallers and their' calling, yet he expects a cheap and excellent meal to be provided him,; waiting , -... all ready at any suburban hotel, gratis, free.for 'i nothing, at any time he may honour such establishments with his visits and patronage. Ido not think = that anyone,-after paying expenses, would wax fat % ■ throughrthe business he did with customers like your ;, ','.. correspondent. , And there are very many such as he. ":""" The reason whyv' to please such as "Anti-Sot," people should lay out several thousand pounds to ■- .'"i gratuitously accommodate him wth "wittles," to my' ■ t understanding is not clear. Sir, I think I , should apologise for noticing such a " water fly" as " Anti- • Sot." "Sot": Adieu!—l am, &c.,: ~:v ' "
