Transcription

'My dear Wordsworth, Tuesday Feb. 25. Dinner at 7:30. I shall be in my room (Fellows 4) from 7 p.m. onwards. I cannot guarantee any entertainment, but it will be delightful to see you again. Yours J.R.R. T.'

In an annotation by the recipient, he notes in reference to the indicated time of 12:45 am, 'Flattering, don't you think, that he should write even before going to bed!'
