    Sir,
    I am sorry to say Mrs Cotman is so very ill that it is quite impossible she should avail herself of the honour of your invitation to Dinner tomorrow. May I presume so far on your favour as to request your permission to allow my eldest son to take her place?
    I have the honour to be,
    Sir,
    Your obliged & obedient servant
    J.S. Cotman.
    June 16.
    St Martin’s at Palace.

    Addressed to S. Bignold Esq.
    It bears a seal in red wax of a Greek figure & vase
