My dear Sir,
On Monday 5 Feby I am collecting a few friends to whom I feel myself and the L. Gazette obliged for many kindnesses, to dine with me on its attaining its years of discretion, 21.
May I express a warm hope that it will be convenient and agreeable to you to join the party. It would afford me the greatest pleasure. The hour is 6 and the place Freemasons Tavern. Pray drop me a line to say I may expect you & believe me.
My dear Sir | Ever yours faithfully | W. Jerdan
In the Bibliotheque Universelle Geneve (Nov. No.) there is a curious article on the electricity of the Torpedo1. Have you seen it or w[oul]d you wish [to]?
