Dear Sir,
As you are backward in vi-
siting a Friend, who entertains a sin-

you an Errand to come &and see me.
I am well informed, that one Mr James
Grant (Merchant in Inverness) is just now
in EdrEdinburgh , whom I am very desirous to see
in my House, as he is a Gentleman
(though I have not the Honour of his Acquaintance) 1465 (1465)
Acquaintance) to whose Character &and
tender-heartedness I am not a
Stranger; of which I can show him
a convincing proof, when I have the
Happiness of seeing him. Pray then
(Dear Sir) be so good as to present
my best Wishes to Mr Grant, &and endea-
vour to prevail upon him to com^e along
with you to-morrowtomorrow to dine with me.
