Dear Sir

I wrote to Mr. Blackwood that I should be at George Square tomorrow — wishing to see him or you about a M.S. manuscript of mine — but I find I cannot leave home. —

Shall I send the M.S. manuscript by post? — to be returned within as few days as may be practicable? —

Yours very truly DMMulock –
