[1] I am grieved to tell you that we are compelled to give up the pleasure of visiting you tomorrow – Lady Malcolm is so very unwell today that she feels quite unequal to the exertion – and she would regret exceedingly to have any alloy to the gratification of that visit – She begs therefore that you will permit her to [2] delay it for a few days when I trust she may be able to enjoy Bonn. The town – to the utmost –
– We need not assure you how enchanted we shall be to see you here as often as may be – Lady Malcolm unites with me in best and kindest regards –
ever believe Me
Most truly Yours
