Not having oppertunity of Waiting on you in person; I have taken the liberty of directing my pen; by way of inquir’ry if any of my friends in Craven street, are offended. Mr. Viny, Called on wensday morning in the wheel on purpose to ask you how you did; and when it would be agreable to Doctr. franklin in this week; to favour us with your Company’s; when he knocked at the door Miss franklin Came herself, and with an Unpleasent Countenance; reply’d, here’s no boody at home; Mr. Viny said it was such a damper; as hurt him greatly.

He Conclud’d I had misunderstood you, and that the Doctr. intend’d to favour us with his, and your Companys the last week; which if so; I am verry sorry for, and ask his pardon; there being no one; whose friendship expeirenc’d; we wish more to Cultivate then Doctr. franklin.

Mrs. Stevens; if our Conduct has appear’d inconsistant the whole fault is mine; for Mr. Viny did think the Doctr. talk’d of Comeing the wensday after we was; with you; but I said I understood him he Could not; and that you likwise replyed; twas out of the question that week; as they were to go into the Country, to see mr. Beaches mother; I might not understand you wright; however; I flatter myself from the generous sentiments; and great Candour of my worthy friend judgment in all things; that he will not Construe it slight, and disesteem; but intire misunderstanding; which I anxiously wish Clear’d up to our mutual satisfaction. From your much oblig’d friend
