DEAR SIR,

I waited till to-night before I took Lodgings, as I was not sure

of your intentions. To-morrow morning I shall look out for one.

I apprehend Suffolk Street or that neighbourhood will be at once

private and convenient.--You will of course come in by Hyde Park

Corner, and my servant shall attend at my lodgings at Mr. Taylor's,

Grocer's, opposite to the Duke of Cumberland's, Pall Mall, to conduct

you to your lodgings, where I shall immediately attend you. I should

think that you had better not arrive till towards five o'clock, when

Sir R. will be gone to dinner.

I am, Dear Sir,

Most truly yours,

E. G.
