[1] I cannot tell you my dear Sir how very much I regretted not being able to see you this morning before you left us, but I sincerely hope that I may have that pleasure when I go to Town next week. The very great pleasure & gratification that you have conferred by your visit here is beyond what I can attempt to express! May I hope [2] that the feeling has been sufficiently mutual to induce you to come amongst us again? It is too melancholy to think that a person we have known & esteemed so much will never visit us again, so that I am determined to banish all such reflections from my mind & give myself up to the pleasing hope of once more welcoming you under my own roof, I only wish I could promise that you should meet the most agreeable of those who are now with me, but alas! [3] Miss Manning will leave me! Not even the prospect of visiting the Rhine can I fear prevail on her to stay; when she could refuse you I am sure it would be vain for any other to attempt to shake her resolution Now I am sure you do not approve of such determined decision where to yield would be so graceful & give such pleasure to all here will you allow me to say that this is your opinion, for I do think if anything can move her it will be that.
I must say adieu! as my friend waits to convey this to you. I shall
[4] be in London on Wednesday afternoon about half past four o’clock / at M:r Taylor’s 69 Portland Place, that will I fear be too late an hour for you to call upon me & I cannot fix any other till I reach Town when I will write to you again if you can come then or later upon that day I need not say how very happy I shall be to see you.
Believe me with the utmost truth
Your sincere friend
