Monday: LT wrote ‘Jan 18/53’. This is a mistake as the ‘Monday’ heading to this letter was 17 January. Tyndall noted in his journal entry of 17 January: ‘wrote telling him [Tom] that I would start early in the morning’ (JT/2/13b/595).
Waterloo Station: a major train station near the south bank of the Thames. Tyndall was meeting Hirst, who had come from Germany to visit his dying friend, Francis Booth (see letters 0698 and 0703).
