A Pleasant Message


MR. BARTLEMAN, a celebrated bass-singer, was taken ill, just before the

commencement of the musical festival at Gloucester: another basso was

applied to, at a short notice, who attended, and acquitted himself to

the satisfaction of everybody. When he called on the organist to be

paid, the latter thanked him most cordially for the noble manner in

which he had sung; and concluded with the following very complimentary

and pleasant message: When you see poor Bartleman, give my best regards

to him; and tell him how much we missed him during the festival!
