Dear Mr. Simeon,

—Being very desirous of seeing you and other friends of Godley to-morrow if possible (in consequence of the retirement of Captain Bellairs, which I deem "a heavy blow and great discouragement," considering when it takes place) I purpose going to Charing Cross at half-past twelve, and trust that it may be in your power to meet me. If you could get Mr. Wynne and Mr. Cocks to do so likewise, it would be a satisfaction. I will endeavour to bring Adderley, with whom I am going to breakfast at Sir Wm. Molesworth's.

Ever sincerely yours,

E. G. Wakefield.
