Draft 2

Dear Sir, the agrument subsisting between yourself and my late father always gave me much uneasiness; and since I have had the misfortune of losing him, I have frequently wished to heal the breach. As a clergyman I feel it my duty to establish the blessing of peace in all families within the reach of my influence, and hope that you will not reject the offered olive branch. If you should have no objection to receive me into your house, I propose myself the satisfaction of waiting on you and your family, Monday, May the eighteenth by four o’clock. I remain, dear sir, with respectful compliments to your lady and daughters, your well-wisher and friend, William Collins.

Fire away.
