Royal Institution | 27th June 1854
My dear Tom,
Here is a note1 from our good friend Bevington. Just say whether it is likely that you will be home in time to go to Birchwood2 [dinner]. The meeting is on the 12th of July.3 I fear you will be away among the Orangemen of the north4 at the time.
Affectionately John
