Thank you, my dear Mrs Tennyson—but we are fastened down to a London engagement for friday, and no struggle of the inclination can prevail against it. Will you allow me to write again & fix another day before the fifteenth, which you mention as a limit? We desire to see you really very much.

Most truly yours
