My dear Sir,
I have some recollection of having allowed my name to be put down in reference to the Cambridgeshire B.S. meeting. But occurring hinderances were counted on so that I did not compromise myself. Such hinderances have occurred, and quite prevent my attending these meetings.
I allowed in the same way my name to be put down respecting the Nottinghamshire meetings in October. Be so good as consider that the same uncertainty is connected with that arrangement. When the time draws near I shall then know how I stand.
Be so good as to say to Mr. Brandram, that the document I enclosed to him in my last letter has to be returned, but not until he has fully used it as is wished.
I remain,
Yours Truly,
James Thomson.
