Monsieur,

Je viens d’arriver à Londres et je serais bien charmé d'entendre que vous êtes encore en ville. Je m’empresserai dans ce cas d’aller vous voir au jour et à l’heure que vous aurez la bonté de m’indiquer et de vous remercier oralement de votre dernière bonne lettre et des beaux échantillons photographiques que vous avez bien voulu y joindre. Demain je serai occupé de 11h. à 3. h., lundi de 9h. à 4h., mardi de 9h. à midi.

Je suis avec la plus haute considération
Votre très dévoué

R. Lepsius.

4. Carlton Terrace

22. July 1842.

Sir,

I have just arrived in London and I would be most delighted to hear you are still in town. If so, I will hasten to come and see you at the day and time which you will be so good as to tell me, and to thank you personally for your last kind letter and for the beautiful photographic samples which you were kind enough to enclose with it. I will be busy tomorrow between 11 and 3 o’clock, on Monday between 9 and 4 o’clock, and on Tuesday from 9 o’clock until midday.

I am, with the deepest respect
Your very devoted

R Lepsius.
