My Lord,
Having not gone to dinner till rather late, and my company
having staid with me till just now, I have not been able to
return an answer to your Grace's very obliging letter as soon as
I otherwise should have done. It also prevented my being able to
profit of the honour you proposed to me of calling here this
evening.
I will call at the Duke of Richmond's before two o'clock
to-morrow, and I hope that his Grace and I shall have the honour
of meeting your Grace at the House of Lords, between two and
three o'clock; I should imagine, any time before three o'clock
will afford us time for the honour of some conversation
together.
