Yours came to me but this Morning. I directly sent to the Lord Mayor, who has been so obliging as to send me a Ticket & an Order to admit the bearer, as You will see. I hope they will be in time. I send them as soon as I have them.

I should advise you to go full drest certainly if You get to Guildhall by 4 oClock it will be time enough. My Piruke Maker shall be with You soon. wishing You an agreable Day, believe me Dear Friend Yrs. most sincerely

Wm: Caslon
