From V. O. Kovalevsky 15 August [1870]1
31. Bloomsbury Str. Bedford Square.
Dear Sir
I am once more for a short time in England and should be very happy to see You if You could accept my visit.2 It is such a long time I had no news from You; after Your letter to Nice in the Spring I wrote You from a small place near Marseille, but having no answer I fear my letter has been lost.3 My wife is gone with her sister to the sea side and I am left alone to make excursions;4 if You are not occupied to much to receive visits, I have an intention to go to Bickley5 Tuesday and walk from the Station to Down.
I hope to find Mrs. Dawin and the ladies6 in good heal.
Yours | truly | W. Kovalevsky
