Summary
Concerning a box from which Mrs. Dawson-Damer might view the Prorogation Ceremony; saying he has promised his box to Mrs. George Lamb and several of her friends but he is confident he will be able to find her "...a place from whence you can see the Ceremony of Prorogation. Last time none but Peeresses were admitted to the Body of the House but I should not think the House would [be] so full this time of year - I smuggled two or three ladies into the side Galleries and I am sure I shall be able to get you a plate but do not say so to others for the Power of Admission on that day rests entirely with Lord Willoughby. I enclose you an Order for my Box which will procure you admittance to the House & if you will then ask for me I will take care of you."
