"I am very proud of that cue, & very fond of you for giving it to me. I did not know you had done it, till three or four days ago; & since then I have been looking out for you to thank you; but at last I have given that up & fallen back on the pen to express myself lest you get the superstition that I haven't got any manners & ain't going to thank you at all. I do thank you, in the most cordial way."
