Dear Madam
   Your conversation gave me so much pleasure when you did me the honour to dine with me, that I have greatly regretted unavoidable engagements have prevented my waiting on you, & solliciting a repetition of that favour. I cannot guess what you mean by y=r= having been guilty of an impropriety. I am sure I never then, nor at any time, ever saw you do or say any thing but [\what/] was both proper, & highly agreable. My eyes have been affected by a cold, so I have not read all ye aphorisms. Those which appeard to me hardly worthy to accompany your work I have [\markd\]. I hope soon to have it in my power to wait on you & we may then talk over this matter. I have returnd the aphorisms by y=r= Servant. I am dear Madam
