D^r Sir

I did intend to have written you a line before now respecting the subject of our late communication but partly my absence from home & partly an overwhelming quantity of business these last few days, with the belief that the subject was not immediately urgent have prevented me from writing. I will however do in a day or two whenever I can command sufficient leisure – & believe me

Yours very truly

H. F. Talbot
