Summary
Commenting on their old friendship; quoting [Michel de] Montaigne; referring to his "indifferent state of health" and the "care of a large family" as excuses for not having visited Hogarth recently; noting that since Hogarth is "grown a Polite Devil, & [has] a Mind to play at Lords & Ladies," he will call upon him soon.
