            35 Bury Street St James’My dear Sir
After having consulted my physician yesterday whether I should be able to come down to you on Wednesday, I rather choose to give up this pleasure as he seemed me to be rather uncertain whether he should allow it or not, and as I like better to bear the ennui of confinement for some days longer than to run the risk of a relapse. But on Friday next I strongly hope to be well enough to come to your house and to spend some days with you and your family as you have kindly allowed me to do so.
Believe me my dear Siryours very truly
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.
Nov. 9th 1829.
