Letter

July 24 / 11

Dear Sir

Pray excuse the delay in answering your kind invitation. I am not clear whether Mr. Schwensen may have made some arrangement for us upon Tuesday. We are of course in his hands. If not we shall be happy to accept your invitation to dinner.

Yours very truly

Arthur Conan Doyle
