From J. T. Allen   March the 7th

Dear Henslow

I regret that your letter should have remained so long unanswered but my absence from London must plead my excuse. You are correct in supposing I had no vote for the University, both my brother & myself have taken our names off the Boards.

If I should ever come to Cambridge you may rely on my finding you out & I trust you will not stay in London without paying me a visit at Dulwich

believe me yrs very truly

Jefferys T. Allen

Have votes for Lord Palmerston only
