The first emotion of my Heart was to thank heaven that You are once more so near me, and that I shall have the happiness of seeing You in a few hours. Some of our good Friends are come most untimely to dine with us. As soon as We are rid of them my Wife and I and the only Daughter that is now with us will hasten to welcome You and to enjoy till the last moment of your departure as much of the blessing of your conversation as We can without being tiresome. Adieu till seven or eight in the Evening. I will leave directions to hasten Mr. Williams. Ever Yours
