DEAR MADAM,

I only write two lines to tell you that Mrs. Elliot designs a visit

to Beriton in her way to Cornwall. Perhaps she will be with you

Tuesday, but I think Wednesday at farthest, and from my having really

forgot it last night's post, my letter may perhaps be of no use. I

am just come from an Excursion out of town with them. We are grown

wonderfully intimate.

I am, Dear Madam,

Most truly yours,

E. G.

There can be no difficulty in using the Chaise; as you must have paid

the year beforehand.
