Summary
Asking after her health; wishing that she had gone to the Huguenots instead of going to bed as it was "really the finest thing in the world." Asking for Mr. Brookfield's address, noting "I had the kindest letter from him and he told me what had offended him in the conduct of your most obedient Servt. In one thing I was certainly wrong but not in the other as I can see." Wishing that he did not have dinner plans for the entire week so he could leave town as she intends to.
