[156r]

 S^t James' Sq^re 
 Tuesday. 5 o'clock

P. S. Excuse my materials.

 Dear M^r De Morgan.  In
much haste, I write to tell
you that I must adjourn
the proposed engagement for
Monday next, until Monday
week; owing to an unforeseen
obstacle for next Monday
afternoon.  You have very
probably already written
to me; & if so, I shall (to
save you trouble) take it
for granted if I do not hear,
[156v] that the hour fixed will
be for the Monday week
instead.
I was obliged to stay in
Town last night, unexpectedly;
but am just setting out..

I was very glad to
find M^r De Morgan so
well & cheerful, & moreover
that she approved of a
proposition I made her;
(not a proposition of our
particular kind however).

I remain

 Yours very truly

 A. A. L
