From J. V. Carus 5 April 1874
Leipzig,
Apr 5th. 1874.
My dear Sir,
I shall come to London to-morrow week and stay there till Wednesday after-noon. If I shall be able to see you this time, I am not quite sure, as I am rather pressed with my time. But on my return from Edinburgh1 in the beginning of August I shall try again to find you This time I bring Mrs. Carus and two daughters with me, whom I should not like to carry too-much about.2 So, if you should happen to hear from Dr Günther3 that I passed through London, pray excuse me if I did not try to pay you my respects personally, as I wished and have wished to do these many years
I am rather in haste, as it is always hard work to prepare work without one’s library and all the rest for four months coming.
Believe me to be | Yours always truly, | J. Victor Carus
