Right Reverend Sir
It will give me and my family pleasure if you will favour us with your company tomorrow (Christmas Day) to our family dinner. You will perhaps return with part of my family after the service of St. John’s Chapel. We dine about 3 o’clock.
I am, with respect
Right Revd Sir
Your faithful Servant
