Prince Bariatinskoy, my illustrious doctor, has informed me that you would dine at his house today, and he has invited me to come dine there with you. I am sending to ask if you can kindly pick me up and, in case you grant my request, at what time you are planning to leave. I have the honor of wishing you good day. I hope that your gout is continuing to improve, or rather continuing to go away.
