Dear Mr Wallace

Mrs Flower1 and I had hoped to have availed ourselves of your kind invitation this evening, but she has unfortunately been taken ill and I fear will not be able to go out for some time [.]

I shall hope to be able [2] to join you on one of the other evenings named in your card.2

With kind regards to Mrs Wallace[.]3

Believe me | yours sincerely | W.H. Flower [signature]
