TALBOT6994

Dear Sir,

I regret much that I am obliged to leave London on the 24^th in order to write a Review, which I can only do at home, and which will occupy every moment of my time till the 2^nd week of July. Under other circumstances I sh^d have remained in London till the 1^st of July; but your case ¹ cannot depend upon oral evidence, because your Counsel can read the affidavits as parts of his speech.

I am Ever Most Truly yrs
