Summary
Arranging to call on her at Tilney Street "...on Wednesday between 3 & 4, and therefore unless you send me a counterorder, you may depend on my punctuality. I will now only add that no time, or distance can ever alter the warm interest I ever must take in your welfare, or the sentiments of friendship and attachment, with which I shall ever be proud;" adding, in a postscript, Pray excuse all inaccuracies, as I have been twice interrupted, while writing this."
