You must send me back my waistcoat on Thursday. On Friday I
dine out at Browne's & have nothing to put on - I can return it you upon if you
want it particularly on Friday night. — No — that was my mistake - it is
tomorrow that I want the waistcoat: and tomorrow it is not harable.
Eight o clock come and I have no letter from you
in answer to mine of Saturday — I am perfectly astonished.
I fear it may have miscarried: yet I gave it with my own hands
