Science Schools, | S. Kensington. | S.W.
24th. August 1880.
My dear Sir,
I have only just returned from the North of Ireland, where I have been doing some geological work during the last few weeks. I greatly regret that I was not in town to receive your note, as nothing would have given me greater pleasure than to have called upon you in the manner you desired.1
I shall, however, be in London during the remainder of this week and, if it will not be putting you to any inconvenience, should esteem it a great privilege to be permitted to run over to Down for the conversation which I should so greatly like to have with you, on geological matters.
For a field-geologist in training (as I am just now) the walk across from Bromley or Orpington to Down will be most pleasant at this time of year.2 And I shall be most happy to come either on Friday or Saturday at any hour which you may name, as likely to put you to the least inconvenience.
Please to address a line to me at
14 Auriol Road,
West Kensington
—W.
and I will gladly come at any hour on either day you may name,
Believe me to remain, | Yours very faithfully | John W. Judd
