From V. O. Kovalevsky 20 September [1872]1
British Museum
20 Sept. Friday.
Dear Sir
I beg Your pardon of not being able to come yesterday, but You were treatened with a foreign invasion and to save You the bother of two separate visits I sacrificed the pleasure of having You all to myself and intended to join the invaders. However there is no more danger now and if You will allow me I’ll call at Down on Sunday by the 2o30 train returning at 9’ or, if the morning hours are more comfortable to You, I will come by a morning train and return in the afternoon.2
Your very truly | W. Kowalevsky
P.S. To save You writing a letter I will take the liberty to consider Your silence as a sign of approval.
