[Account of a duel between the Duke of B-- and Lord B--.]
My Lord, The affront which you gave me at the Imperial
Minister's Ball last night, would argue me a person very
unworthy the character I bear to let it pass unregarded. To
prove me that adventrous knight which your evasive
expression would have given the Noble Lady to understand,
may perhaps be the most acceptable means to reconcile your
spleen: convince me then that you are more of a gentleman
than I have reason to believe, by meeting me near the first
tree, behind the Lodge in Hyde Park. . .
