batt

I am very sorry to hear that Batt is detained at Oxford in a bad state of health, with some symptoms of a growing dropsy.

From the first Batt applied himself to win his patroness' favour to his clever and needy friend.

His letters to Batt—the replies which came he never published—are remarkable reading, and do credit to both sides.

Well, sir, o' course I've got those what I pinched off t' batt'ry that was here before!
