Two pages, 12mo, fold mark, some foxing/mottling obscuring part of the subscription (Iam [?]), otherwise text is bold and clear. I thank you warmly for your kind letter with its enclosure - Your Speech at Cardiff is of much interest & the Society you advocate is doing valuable work. | I fear it will be impossible to me to attend your meetings as I expect to be out of London then. Should I find it possible [to get?] I will endeavour to be at the meeting.
