A bell was immediate- / ly rung, and the charioteers summoned to / attend[colon] and the fate of the driver being de- / termined by throwing a dice, that no undue / partiality might prevail, every Dutch forma- / lity was now adjusted; and, the boor of a / driver with solemnity having lighted his pipe, / we prepared to take our departure for the / Briel; where, I flatter myself something / more worthy your attention may be found, / and compensate for the brevity and barren- / ness of subject in this epistle. / Adieu! / LET-."; lower right corner, pencil: "921/72(46)".
