Saturday night

Dear Sir,

Concluding that you would be fully engaged here to day, I did not attempt to get an interview – I now write to say that I am to leave home for Dorsetshire on Monday Morning & will call at the Abbey in my way, in case you should have any thing to say to me before you go to Town – w^ch I presume may be the case before I return at the end of the Week –

I am Dear Sir
Y^r obliged Serv^t
