My Dear Mr. Murray

I am sorry that
Mrs Murray cannot
come — and am
much obliged by
your kind offer
to take us up but
we are invited
to come before
3 to luncheon so

will leave before
you come at ¼ to 4
I leave this with
the servant as it
was past one before
your note came

Yours ever

David Livingstone
