I returned from London the 12th inst. and waited on Madame St. Leger, the 14th. having received a letter & a pacquet for her. She did not read her letter at the time I delivered it, & knew not but that I was an Englishman—The day before yesterday Mr: St. Leger called here between nine & 10. in the morning. left no Card, simply putting his name on the book of the Concierge—He did not chuse to come up, tho’ I was at home—

I state this to ask you what it all means, as I am a stranger to Parisian Customs. Will you be kind eno: to tell me how I am to conduct myself:—

I inclose a number of patterns for Frocks—Will you be kind eno: to pass judgement upon them, and put a pin into the most fashionable & return them to me again—

I apply to you knowing that you have the veritable gout & relying on your goodness to excuse the liberty—

With respects to your Grandfather, I am, Sir, Yr: humb: Servt.
