Mrs. — Lawrence and Mrs. — Allen to William Temple Franklin (unpublished)
March 22d. Monday Afternoon

Mrs: Lawrence & Mrs: Allen had the pleasure a week ago, of sending Mr: Franklin a Card for to morrow Evening. They have waited till the last moment in hopes of his return, but not finding that the case, they take the liberty of requesting that unless a very particular engagement should interfere, he will honor them with his Company to morrow Evening at a Dance, as Mrs: Lawrence & Mrs: Allen request Mr: Franklin to be assur’d nothing will so much add to the pleasure of the Party, as its being graced with his presence.

Addressed: Mr: Franklin
