Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.
Paper
Good-bye—my paper’s out so nearly,
I’ve only room for——your’s sincerely.
Tom Moore.—The Fudge Family in Paris, end of Letter 6.
I forgot to leave a gap in the last line but one for the seal: but I should have allowed for Night, Good Night: but when I am taking leave I cannot leave a bit.
Swift.—8th Letter to Stella.
My paper puts me in mind that I have but just room to tell you I am with great sincerity yours.
M. Ormond.—The Duchess to Swift, Sept. 14, 1716. (Roscoe’s Life of Swift.)
