Hampstead, May 4th.
Dear Mrs. Thurgood,
I have been laid up with neuralgia for some days, and have not yet recovered from it. I will, however, accept your kind invitation for Saturday next, and hope to be able to come.
With kind regards to yourself and sister,
I remain,
Yours very truly,
Walter Bossora.
