My dear Md^me Jerichau
        Before I reached home I remembered that we had to go to another afternoon party at Mr Lockerells’ in the Regents Park before going to Grosvenor House – so that we shall be rather late, & cannot have the pleasure of taking you. But we could meet there if you would // like it. At the same time my husband thinks that a crowd of the fashionable world would not reward you for the trouble, especially as you have seen the pictures, & so, as we cannot go together, I tell you frankly what he says.
But I hope that there is // the change of our meeting again though only to say “good bye” – if not, you know how cordially I wish you luck, & how affectionately I shall remember you.
Pray apply to me the letter if you need anything that I can do, & believe me yours most truly
