My Lord
Agreeable to your Lordships notice, that
His Majesty the King of Prussia had signified His
pleasure to see the Exhibition of the works of British
Artists at Somerset House to morrow (Sunday)
Be pleased my Lord to make known to His Prussian Majesty
that the Exhibition rooms will be open to
morrow at one OClock, for His Majestys inspection:
and that I have to lament as President of the Royal
Academy _ by reason of the Gout, not being able to
receive His Majesty at the Academy; but the
Keep_ and Secretary of the Royal Academy will
have that honour.
With profound respect
I am My Lord
Your Lordships Obliged
and obedient Sert
