6 September
Dear Sir
I got Your letter only to day, the Brit. Museum is closed on the first week of September and therefore I got away from London to the sea side, and having much to do with tertiaries I selected Bournemouth, as the centre of the Hampshire basin.2 On Monday I will be back to London, where I expect letters from Russia about the translation.3 I will be exceedingly glad to visit You some day after the 10th Sept and will inform You of the day by letter.4
Your very truly | W. Kowalevsky
