Thursday
My dear Henslow
My old pupil Shipperdson (who is to be made a Doctor today) is to take a family dinner with me tomorrow at 3 o’clock. Could you & Louisa & her Brother (the Christian) do me the great favor to meet the Doctor & his wife, tho’ at such an early hour and at such short notice?
Pray let me hear this evening— I am eaten up with gout so if you come I shall bite you
Ever yours | A Sedgwick
