            19 Mecklenburgh Sq. Monday My dear Sir
I am much gratified at hearing from Sir G. Smart that you consent to favor me with your company on Wednesday evening.
It is a subject of regret with me that I have been prevented by business from profiting as I cd have wished by the advantage of the introduction to you for wh I was so much indebted to Ad. Goldschmidt’s kindness. Your great success & the quiet admiration you have attracted in our musical circles are a source of real pleasure to me – it proves that there is something like good taste & judgement ‘among us. You will be expected impatiently on Mond Wednesday & we shall all hope the time will not exceed 1/2 past 8 –
Believe me My dear Sir Very truly yours T. M. Alsager
