My dear Sir,

Dr. [William Jackson] Hooker's letter of Thursday, by some
mistake did not reach me till this morning.

I hasten therefore to say that it gave me great
pleasure to be made sure by it that you had
actually arrived in Glasglow, and were to pay
me a visit on your way to Edinburgh.

Dr. Hooker does not however mention when
I may expect you, but I hope it may not be
long. [crossed out: Thus]. In the week now commenced I
shall be engaged on Wednesday and on Friday
from 11 to 4 or 5 o'clock with Road meetings, but
that need not make you alter your plans  in 
case you find it convenient to  come here before
either of these days, as I shall dine at home on 
both of them, and shall give you some packets
of duplicates to amuse yourself in selecting from
during my absence. The week following so far as 
I know I shall be perfectly disengaged, but on
