Dear Sir
Methinks it is a long time since I had the pleasure of seeing you which I endeavourd to do when I was last in town; but I was one day too late. I hope & beg of you never to pass Birmingham without favouring me with a call, or rather takeing your Bed at Soho Hotel, where you & every branch of your Family will ever find a more hearty welcome than at any Inn upon the London Road.
Allow me to request your attention to the small commission mentd. on the other side: & to beg you will remember me most kindly to your mother, to your fair partner, as well as to Miss Wedgwood, & every sprig of the Tree.
I am with great regard
Dear Sir
Your faithfull friend & Obedt. Servt.
