If next Tuesday (the 16th) will suit you, I would suggest your coming by the train which leaves Charing Cross at 10:35, & I will send my carriage to Orsington to meet you. We will lunch at one o'clock & you can return by the train leaving Orsington at 2:47. Dear Sir, yours faithfully" with postscript "P.S. If you cannot come on Tuesday Wednesday would suit me equally well but in that case be so kind as to let me know", with envelope, 7 7/8 by 5 in., (very good overall, minor spotting and soiling, folds).
Estimate $1,500-2,000
