My dear Sir

Mr Sylvester has asked me to communicate to you (as he did not know your address) an invitation to breakfast with him tomorrow at 9 a.m.

Do not trouble yourself answering this, but if you can accept Mr Sylvester’s invitation, please wait for me at your hotel tomorrow morning and I shall call about a quarter before 9, to go with you to Mr Sylvester’s house which is No 26 Lincoln’s Inn Fields –

Your’s very truly | William Thomson
