Dear Sir, [1]

I shall be very happy to see you any morning you please to call from 12 to 2. o’clock: next Thursday for instance,—only I feel ashamed at the notion of your accomplishing such a journey for so little: to be sure, there is the underground Railway.

Very truly yours

Robert Browning.

I ought to explain that I delayed answering your note till I could be somewhat more master of my time than was the case last week.
