Dear Sir,
We are all very sorry that we shall not have the pleasure of seeing you here tomorrow at Dinner,1 & the Dean of Ely 2 joins us in this regret.
I shall distribute several of your Calotypes among those who will really value them, but there are some which I have a peculiar affection for and have not liberality enough to part with.3
It would give me the greatest pleasure to spend a few days with you at Lacock Abbey; but I require to return to Leamington 4 before I can finally decide, & I shall regret it bitterly if any thing [should] 5 occur to prevent m[y] accepting of your kind invitation.
My Address is 13 Lower Parade Leamington. 6 I shall be at Queens College Cambridge (I expect) from Saturday next till the following Friday.
Ever Most Truly yrs
