looking for origin of quote

Hi, please forgive my being uninformed ...I am familiar with just a few of Lord Byron's poems; however, I cannot say I am well-versed with his works...I am trying to find the name of the work (poem, letter, etc.) from which this excerpt/quote was taken "the best way would be to avoid each other without appearing to do so"...thanks in advance for any replies!

George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824), British poet. Letter, April 25, 1814, referring to his affair with Lady Caroline Lamb. Byron’s Letters and Journals, vol. 4, ed. Leslie Marchand (1975).
