Wentworth Place, December 27, 1818.

My dear Haydon--I had an engagement to-day--and it is so fine a morning that I cannot put it off--I will be with you to-morrow--when we will thank the Gods, though you have bad eyes and I am idle.

I regret more than anything the not being able to dine with you to-day. I have had several movements that way--but then I should disappoint one who has been my true friend. I will be with you to-morrow morning and stop all day--we will hate the profane vulgar and make us Wings.

God bless you.

J. KEATS.
