Dear Sir

I shd. have great pleasure in seeing you, but I have been so unwell lately, that it is possible for me to see anyone until in about a weeks time, when I hope to be nearly well.—² I would suggest, that your best plan w^d be to come here by the Train. which leaves X at 10^o.35′ stopping at Orpington St³ & you w^d arrive at Down at about 12 oclock & we c^d lunch at 1^o & you c^d return by the Train which leaves Orpington due $\frac{1}{2}$2. If in a weeks time sh^d still feel inclined to take so much trouble to see me, will you be so good as to inform me the day before, so that I may write or telegraph if too unwell—
