My Place in this Procession was as I was now informed, to be immediately underline before /underline The underline Silver Stick /underline in Waiting. During the time Their Majesties were in the Drawing Room, I waited in the Outer Room adjoining to it, where I was introduced to several of underline The Family /underline, General Budé &c. & from these I received much congratulation on My New Appointment-- At the Drawing Room I saw among many other of My Acquaintance Lady Payne but at too great a distance to speak to Her - She was in Her Usual good looks, & was much admired by all except one Great Personage which certainly gives good reason to call his taste much in question--

I was agreably surprised to find that Their Majesties did not go to the Play this Evening & of which I had received Official Notice the day before-- General Budé & Colonel Digby
