Summary
Thanking her for her letter and expressing his wish to visit her; saying "...the moment I can escape from the Queen's house on Wednesday next, which I think will be a few minutes after one, I will ride over to Tilney Street, being really more anxious to shake hands with you than I can express, having so often failed in my Endeavors since the birth-day to see you. We shall then, I hope, have a comfortable cause together, which it appears to me an age since we have had before."
