Dear Sir,

I am sorry to be obliged to beg your indulgence for my son this evening: he has caught so bad a cold as to prevent him leaving the house: next Monday he will be with you as usual. Let me just add that your treatment seems most successful hitherto.

I am, Dear Sir,

Very faithfully yours

Robert Browning.
