Dear Md^me Jerichau
                I met Lady Westminster at the Queen’s Concert last night & she again said how happy she should be to see you.
I told xxx her that I was unfortunately not able to bring you, but that I should endeavour to persuade you to go without me. I therefore // send this note, dear Lady, to say that I am sure you may venture to go alone. The invitation is from 3 to 7.
Lady Westminster generally receives her guests at the door of the Great Gallery.
We shall hardly be there before 5 – perhaps a little before – and if you would prefer to go in with me // & if you would go about ½ past 4, & sit & wait in the first room (where the great Canaletti Bullfight is) we should find you on our entrance. But feel yourself free. & do as you like best. At all events it will be a great pleasure to me to meet you there. And I shall hope for it. //
Believe me ever truly your’s
