Transcription
Fol. 240 Soon after you left my father Pelham this evening he took a dislike to the blisters which you had order’d and in a little while sent for Sir John Shadwell who has been with him this evening. He will come again tomorrow morn half an hour after nine o’clock. I hope you will not dislike to meet him here at that time…
