Feb. 15. 92.

Dear Mr. Wallace,

I find that a meeting1 has been fixed for me here at 3 p.m. tomorrow. That is the hour you asked me to call. But I would run over to Parkhurst tomorrow morning,2 if it would not inconvenience you, I call about 11:45. If this is inconvenient — for I hear with regret that you are not well — would you kindly telegraph me at above address.

Sincerely | Annie Besant [signature]
