Dear Sir
I beg to thank you for the kind Interest you have taken in my Father–
I have not seen Mr Tytler <1> but the message I received by Mr H. Awdry <2> was quite satisfactory.
I regret I was from home when you did me the honor to call yesterday. I hope my health will soon be so much recovered as to enable me to pay my respects to you
I am your much obliged Obt Humble St
James Paley
