cannot and will not dine with Royalty on that evening. With all due humility he suggesteth a question for her Royal consideration. Might not, between nine and in the night of said Saturday, a pudding, such as said lecturer hath reason to remember, be [paited?] at the Royal palace, between said Royal [Punvage?] and her humble the extraordinary lecturer, as a fitting close to the present attendance of said lecuterer at [court?]?
Which suggestion is made with due sense of presumption. Its the humber servant of her Highness leaves four on Friday morning notification of refusal to act upon suggestion should be sent by electric herald.
