Thursday / Yes tomorrow - Friday - about / 5 I will present myself: / and I thought you told / the story of that performance / beautifully - leaving nothing / to be desired. / and at dinner on Monday / I set forth your grievance / (in re the manner of your / invitation to that party) / as feelingly as I could. / till my hostess, either from / grace or from remorse / said after all what did / it matter since with all / clumsiness she & Phil had / secured the / company of the nicest / woman in London - / at this I felt appeased / & that your honour / had been vindicated & / the matter dropped. / but what makes one / specially indignant is that / you should ever need / a champion. / that he is decrepit & fast on the wane is / a pity - but it can't / be helped / Your BJ.
