            4 Hobart Place PimlicoAug. 30thDear Sir
I called yesterday at Coventry’s to enquire after you & they were very reserved in giving news, would hardly give the direction, said you would not be in town these 2 months, &c &c. – Is all this true? Are you going to Birmingham? or coming to London? Shall I see you? How? when? where?
Pray write a few words in answer, I cannot stir from London these next days before the Festival or else I should pay you a visit at Pampesford. But would not you pay me one at
no. 4 Hobart Place, Eaton Square, Pimlico?
& spend some gay English time with
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy?
