From St George Jackson Mivart 8 March [1870]1
6 Pelham Crescent | Hastings
March 8th (Tuesday evening)
My Dear Sir,
I hope this letter may be in time to save you from making a journey to North Bank for nothing— I am stopping here for a short time to give my wife a little repose after the anxiety attending the recent death of my dear Mother—2 We purpose returning in about a week & then I need hardly assure you how much pleasure I shall feel in receiving a visit from you—
With best regards | believe me, | My dear Sir | Your’s most truly | St. G. Mivart.
