Woodside, Harrow

14 Nov. 1868.

My dear Wallace,

I am very much obliged to you for so kindly promising to visit us next Saturday. I am sorry to hear that Mrs Wallace1 is not well but I hope that you will on some future occasion bring her down to see Harrow, when the weather is more genial than it is now—

I will meet you at the Station on Saturday afternoon. The meeting is at 4:30. p.m. and I have asked Dr. Butler2 our Headmaster & some of our friends here to meet you at dinner at 6:30. & I will have [2] you taken back to the station at whatever time you wish.

Very faithfully yours | G Griffith3 [signature]
