Summary
Writing of the chaos and discomfort he is currently experience owing to the renovation of his house and assuring Keppel that it is only the pressing demands of work which keep him from coming to visit him at Lexham; mentioning that he has submitted an ode to Punch and asking Keppel if he intends to return to town, as there is some chance that Donne may be able to get away long enough to see him there.
