TALBOT1274

Tuesday 4 o’clock. –

Dear Talbot,

I beg ten thousand pardons for my carelessness. I had written an answer but forgot to give it to be sent to you on Sat^y & have been out of Town ever since –

I am sorry I cannot accept y^r invitation as I am always out of Town on Sunday – it being the only day I can see my family.

Believe me ever yours
D. M. Perceval¹
