Dear Sir

I shall be charmed to see the Hobb[illeg.] & sincerely hope it will prove to be of the right kind.

If so it will be an important discovery and a valuable possession.

Kindly let me [2] know the day before you propose to buy the pasture. Lady Robinson1 & myself hope you will come in the morning & stay to lunch with us.

Sincerely yours | J. C. Robinson2 [signature]
