Caroline Tufton (Barham) to Martha Jefferson (Randolph)

Dear Miss Jefferson

the Dutchess of Devonshire is coming this morning to hear some Musick, and we shall be very happy if you would come at twelve o’ Clock, you need not dress as there really will be nobody else. Adieu—

pray bring your Jackett.
