| Date | [1829] |
| Description | On waking he has remembered an engagement to dine on Monday week at the New Travellers Club, where he has been elected an honorary member; he hopes Mr and Mrs Kay may be able to fix any other day that week to go to the play; hopes to avoid the Kays' censure for breaking an engagement. His sister is tolerably well today after the game of forfeits; Mrs R. vey well and is sure they would send their best wishes.
No date but paper watermarked "182" and the New Travellers Club would seem to have opened in new premises in or around 1829. |
