My dear Sir

You desire to know how
my little Girl is, & I am truly happy to inform you she is so much better that I shall be able to go to London on Monday & by that means I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you again before you leave England; indeed not to have done so would have caused me real pain as I assure you I have not often [2] experienced so much happiness as during the time I passed in your society. Most sincerely do I hope that our intimacy may be renewed & that at no very distant period, but not in India! no I cannot never think of revisitting that quarter of the Globe even under the pleasing form in which you represented it, but in Europe, I care not where or how soon we meet!
I cannot express to you my dear Sir how very much pleased & gratified I am by the memorials with which it is your intention so kindly to present me, &
[3] which I do assure you I shall ever consider as one of my most valuable possessions! For Miss Manning I will not say anything, as it is her intention to thank you herself for your kind remembrance of her.
I hope to be in Portland Place by fou
[r] o’clock on Monday afternoon but that is most probably a time that may not be convenient for you to call upon me, & I should therefore be obliged by your sending me a note to say at what hour on Tuesday I may look for the pleasure of seeing you.
I beg you will believe me
very dear Sir
your very sincere friend
