To Charles Cowden Clarke — London, October 31, 1816

London, October 31, 1816.

MY DAINTIE DAVIE--I will be as punctual as the Bee to the Clover. Very glad am I at the thoughts of seeing so soon this glorious Haydon and all his creation. I pray thee let me know when you go to Ollier's and where he resides--this I forgot to ask you--and tell me also when you will help me waste a sullen day--God 'ield you--
