From Lord Belper   6 September 1856

Kingston | Kegworth | Derby

6 September 1856

My dear Mr Henslow,

I have just heard from M r Bristow, & I find that Tuesday the 23 rd will suit him for coming to us. I hope therefore that you will come as early as convenient in that week, on Monday the 22 d, if you can. Our Station is Kegworth, on the Midland Railway, not more than a mile from the house, & I will send to meet you, if you will let me know by what Train we may expect you.

You will perhaps be so good as to let me have previously any instructions which you may wish to give us to the preparations you mentioned. In haste.

Yours very faithfully | Belper

[P.S.] I find that the Bristows property at Tugford is to be put up to auction on the 3 d of October.
