Dear Miss Wynn, [1]

I am truly sorry that I am engaged both on Saturday and Monday– Any other day in the week—except Friday—I am disengaged: but you are too good to care about having me.

I should greatly enjoy meeting Mr Maurice [2] of course.

With best thanks, and all regards to Mrs Lindsay, [3] pray believe me

Yours most faithfully
