Dear Sir
After nearly nine years absence I am again for a few days in London and should be very happy to see You for an hour or so.2 My life was not a very quiet one, but now I have settled in Moscow, where they proposed me the chair of Geology at the University.3 I have heard this Sunday from Mrs Huxley4 You are going well, have had a glance of Your new book5 and shall be glad to see You before leaving London, if possible Thursday.
Yours truly | W. K⟨owalevsky⟩
