Two o’Clock.
My dear love, after making my arrangements for our snug dinner to-day, I
have been taken by storm, and obliged to promise to dine, at an early
hour, with the Miss ——s, the only day they intend to pass here. I shall,
however, leave the key in the door, and hope to find you at my fire-side
when I return, about eight o’clock. Will you not wait for poor
Joan?—whom you will find better, and till then think very affectionately
of her.
Yours, truly,
