Addressed: To The Honour'd Mrs Hodges This
From: London
Honoured Madam,
I intend (God willing) to wait upon your Ladyship at Shipton about the 12th or 13th day of this month. If your Ladyship has Occasion to be far from home about that time, you will be so good as to inform me speedily thereof, and if it be your pleasure I will meet you wherever you are, if you name the time and place. I would have paid my Respects at Shipton in my way hither, had not your Ladyship acquainted me of your intention to travel to the Southern parts of England which made me then Despair of the Happyness of finding you at home. I Lodge at Mr Walsh's at the Harp in Catherine Street in the Strand and am Madam
Your most faithfull and most humble servant
John Ellis
