Transcript

Royal Hotel, Blackfriars.
9 April 1873.

My dear Sir,

You will, I trust, by this have learnt out of a letter of our friend Furnivall, that I intend to pay you a visit on Good Friday {1}. As my present stay in England is so very limited and as I must be back to my academical duties at the 17th., it is impossible for me to defer my trip to Cambridge untill† next week. My leisure is indeed so fully occupied that I must return to London on Good Friday night. But my chief object is to see you and I hope you will manage to bestow on me as much as you can of your time for the course of Friday. Mr. Furnivall told me of a train leaving Kings Cross at nine o’clock in the morning, and I shall take that. Of course, on my arrival I shall immediately proceed to Trinity College, so you must not take the trouble of coming to the Railway Station. Yours, very faithfully

N. Delius.
