But I am called from home tomorrow on a peremptory matter of business; which I cannot postpone, & therefore must beg your indulgence in case you intended to be with us. Thornton says he should be very glad to see you both days, but we have not the face to say so out loud; so take that as a whisper. Will you come both? My engagement in town is not till 5 o'clock.
