Dear Sir

If you should be thinking of attending the British association meets at Southampton on the 23. August, I have a very great wish that you would be my guest at [2] Broadlands –

My House is near enough to Southampton to enable me to drive you there at all convenient times and we shall enjoy the Backs of the Test whenever science does not draw us away -

[3] Believe me truly yrs | Mount Temple2 [signature]

My railway station is Romsey on the South Western & there are an abundance of trains from Waterloo –

If Mrs Wallace3 wd accompany you, we should be much pleased[.]
