Dear Sir—

You will say I am of a lazy disposition as well as yourself, but in truth I have been much occupied.

I shall be happy to see you. At present I can only say that if you can call at the college1 — where I am all day — at 10¼ A.M. I have some leisure time. But after Thursday, and until Xmas is over, I shall be here.

Yours faithfully | A De Morgan2 [signature]
