Hawkins gives the two following notes:—
'DEAR SIR,
'As Mr. Ryland was talking with me of old friends and past times, we warmed ourselves into a wish, that all who remained of the club should meet and dine at the house which once was Horseman's, in Ivy-lane. I have undertaken to solicit you, and therefore desire you to tell on what day next week you can conveniently meet your old friends.
'I am, Sir,
'Your most humble servant,
'SAM. JOHNSON.'
