My dear Sir

In thanking you for your note of Saturday,1 I regret to say that I cannot take advantage of your freedom on Tuesday, for I am engaged to be in Suffolk2 on that morning.

But if Thursday or Friday should be available, or any day of next week after Monday, I would gladly profit by your kindness. Yours my dear Sir

Very truly | GB Airy
