Russell Square.1

Dear sir,

Mrs[?] Fry and I having heard nothing of Mr. Thomas Sims2 for a long time hope that you may be able to give us some information as to his whereabouts. After leaving Brompton he sent me an address at Hammersmith [2] where letters would reach him. Unfortunately I mislaid the address and as I did not write he may have had a delicacy about coming. If by chance he were to turn up now he would find our former house unoccupied as we have moved. I should like to write to him & if you could assist me I should be [3] grateful.

Mrs[?] Fry desires to be remembered.

Believe me | Yours truly | Frederick M. Fry [signature]
