My dear Browning
Will you give Mrs Arnold and me the pleasure of your company at dinner next Tuesday, the 28th, at ½ past 7.
I expect to start for Paris two or three days afterwards, and to be abroad not less than six months, so I sincerely hope you are disengaged, and that I shall have the pleasure of seeing you before I go. You will meet Circourt, [2] Mme du Quaire’s friend.
Ever sincerely yours
Matthew Arnold.—
