22d June 1826
My dear Sir
I beg to return you my best thanks for your very friendly invitation to your home, and I can truly assure you that it would give me very great pleasure to accept it - but as matters stand there is I fear no chance of my being able to do so - It is extremely doubtful whether I can get away from here at all- but if I do I have decided to take some of my family with me, and it would in that case be more convenient to have them in St Johns. I am glad to find that if I go, I shall have the pleasure of finding you in the University. I hear in every quarter of the impression that was made by the good management of Lord Palmerstons Committee, and I am sure it will be a gratification to you in addition to that of our success. [illeg.] aware how much of it is attributed to your own arrangements. I beg you will present my compliments to Mrs. Henslow and remain.
Dear Sir
Very Truly yours
Law Sulivan
