We design to be at Windsor on Wednesday, where I hope you will meet me in the drawingroom, to tell me when you can dine with us.
FROM THE SAME.
Monday Morning.
Indorsed '1712, [1]I believe.'
I AM sure you are very ill natured (I would not have been so cross to you) to have known Mr. Lewis and me so long, and not have made us acquainted sooner, when you know too that I have been in search of a reasonable conversation.

sir,
Your humble servant,
