Any farther arrangement with Chantrey
is impracticable on my part, even if it were otherwise on his. I am sorry for it, for I should like much to have past a few hours in his company. My place is taken for Friday, – will you give me a beef stake on Tuesday, & ask nobody to meet me, that I may have a quiet comfortable evening with you & the Magister Rotulorum & Miss Page? – Answer by a line to Q. Anne Street, whither I return that morning.
God bless you
