Dr Sir

         Many thanks for yr kindly worded note of invitation which however I am powerless to accept as I expect according to my present arrangements to be in “the past[?]” during the month of April

         Had it been otherwise I would have come with pleasure        

                                 Yours very affectly

                                             Archd G Brown
