3070. EBB to Euphrasia Fanny Haworth

[London]

[27 July 1852] [1]

Dearest Fanny,

Can you come to us on thursday evening .. not to a party? I have asked Mary Minto, but am uncertain as to her coming.

At any rate, dont say, this time, that you are ill & cannot come, because that is worse than a disappointment. Robert would send his love if he were here.

Your affectionate

Ba.

Come early—not later than eight.

Publication: None traced.

Manuscript: Harvard University.

1. Date provided by reference to letter 3072, in which EBB changes the invitation from Thursday to Friday.
