Through absolute forgetfulness, a very bad excuse for any other than such a distrait as I am, I lost the pleasure of dining with you yesterday agreeable to my wish and promise. I made my apology to Major Fishbourne and told him I should invite myself to dine with you today. Probably He has told you this and your too great politeness may influence you to break an engagement which I this moment...
