Dear Sir -

If I again have the good fortune to visit Oxford before leaving England I shall certainly avail myself of your kindnefs. I was there some months ago but being an entire stranger I did not have a very 'good time'.

I never had the pleasure of your father's

acquaintance - his name, of course, is well known to me & I shall be happy to meet his son.

Thanking you for your courtesy and kind congratulations,

I am truly yours
