Summary
Noting that he has been too busy to go out yet that day, but hoping to bring the key and the "Sarmon" on Friday when he intends to dine with the Miss Ogles. Mentioning that they are going to a play that night, but will probably be late because he has been proceeding awfully slowly with [Pendennis] since his return from Brighton.
