Dear Mr Hope
Lady Scott, next to whol I had the pleasure of sitting at dinner yesterday has told me that you have a beautiful collection of pictures and has fired me with a great desire to see them. Unfortunately, however, she added that you are leaving town on Wednesday until which day I am very closely engaged. Shall I be very indiscreet indeed if I ask your permission to penetrate into your house some day after you have left London that I may see your treasures. If you grant it you will confer a favor on
Yours very faithfully
