            103 Gt Portland St July 13 My dear Mr. Attwood
My father begs to present his best thanks for the kindness you show him but is really not able to accept your invitation for Thursday next as he intends to leave London on Saturday morning & has therefore much to do & to settle during the last days of his stay. He fears he shall not have an opportunity of seeing you & Mrs. Attwood before his departure & in that case requests me to express to you & her how grateful he feels for the friendship he has met with at your house.
I hope you will excuse me on this account if I do not come down by the 11 oC’ coach & must go back to town in the evening. It will be perhaps a year before I can anticipate to meet my father again & I therefore wish to be with him all the time I have to spare. I shall be with you by 5 oC’ and have some hope to visit you at Ryde next month.
Yours very truly
Felix Mendelssohn B.
