My dear Sir,

I thank you much for your note.²

I go to Paris this day week: otherwise I should have tried to have again the company of Miss Nicholl³: Mrs Hall⁴ thinks exceedingly well of her promise

— and so do I.

We surely want [a] medium on whom we can depend.

I know many who eagerly desire to see something: but my time will be so nearly occupied before I leave London that I fear I cannot help them.

I shall rejoice[?] to give the refund[?] to Humphreys⁵: more if required.

Very truly yours | S Hall [signature]
