            Birmingham 25th Sept. 40. My dear Sir
I was going tomorrow to make my apology in person for my being unable to accept your very kind invitation; Mr. Moore had without my knowing of it accepted an engagement for me at Mr. Walker’s, and promised to speak to you about it and beg your pardon in my name, which I dare say he will have done, & I hope you will have excused the misunderstanding. Now as I am obliged to return to London early tomorrow morning it is only in writing that I can adress you my thanks and whishes for yourself and your family, and hoping you will always continue in health and happiness I remain with sincere gratitude
yours very truly
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
