      • Contents: Incipit: "Remember then, I expect you on Saturday to dine, as I said before.". Sent from [London]. to [London]. Dateline: "Thursday". dateline in the closer. [Note of 4 1/2 lines, 4to, undated and unsigned, saying he expects her to dinner on Saturday unless he hears by the Penny Post. Sold at Sotheby's, 8 July 1915 (Lot 383); present whereabouts unknown [see below for updated information]. The name of addressee and date are conjectural. On 3 May Gray had written to Mary Antrobus to say how glad he should be to see her in town (see Letter 293 [letters.0338]). The reference to the Penny Post shows that the addressee must have been in London, and it is not unreasonable to suggest that the letter was addressed to Mary Antrobus soon after the letter of 3 May.].
