D=r= Madam
     My Servant [\Natt/] who has as fine talents for negotiation as any man in England (except ye L=d= of. [\TEAR\] [\Bedford\] & Lord Sandwich) happening to meet M=r= Cambridge just now in ye street has almost made a bargain with ye said M=r= Cambridge that we shall dine at Twickenham to morrow. M=r= Cambridge [\desired\] Natt to inform you & me that he hopes we will dine at Twickenham to morrow, ye weather being pleasant in ye Country, unpleasant in Town, we may bring whom we please, & do what we please. I see Natt will think we are as inflexible as ye Hero of [\Hages\] if we refuse this (\carte blanche\) M=r= Cambridge is to know our decision to night. I am of opinion the we ought not to go till he has sent his Uncle or some of his family who are too great & too big to go of a message, but if you will wave your dignity mine shall bow. I have sent a certain letter which I promised you sh=d= show to M=r= Vesey
