‘Piccadilly: March 24, 1812.

‘My dear Mr. Rogers,—Our friend Horne Tooke used to express his desire that his few real friends should accompany him to that “everlasting mansion” which, like Timon, he had prepared for himself. As I know he counted you one of that number, and as I believe you would like to pay this last sad tribute to his memory, I take the liberty of acquainting you that his remains will be deposited in his garden at Wimbledon on Friday next, the 27th.1

‘Yours very sincerely,
‘F. Burdett.

‘N.B.—We propose meeting at twelve o’clock precisely at Mr. Tooke’s house.’
