Has asked Lady Somers to send the papers about the East Indias to St. James' Square. Thanks Lady Lucas for her offer of house and apartment which wil be so comfortable for the writer; hopes to be in Town on Saturday 14th if convenient. Would be grateful if the porter could order a kilderkin of small beer - the writers man servant will pay the bill. Means to hire a cook who can come if needed, but will be better to do with own maid, who can boil a chicken and make a small pudding.
