From J. V. Carus 18 April 1870
61, Grosvenor Street | London, W.
Apr 18. 1870.
My dear Sir,
I am so sorry I cannot come on Thursday, as I must be back in Leipzig Saturday.1 It is my fault not to have written to you before. But always trying to get on with the work I undertook I looked upon a visit in your house as a sort of premium after toilsome weeks.
I must then ask you to allow me to come and see you in the autumn.2
With the best wishes for your health believe me | Ever yours sincerely, | J. Victor Carus
Footnotes
Carus did not visit CD in the autumn, being prevented by the Franco-Prussian war (see letter from J. V. Carus, 2 October 1870).
Summary
Regrets he cannot come to Down on day suggested.
