William Carey, Serampore, to Nathaniel Wallich, [Calcutta], 17 November 1825.

My Dear Wallich,

        It is possible the expressions in my minutes may be too strong, and it is not to be supposed that Major Campbell will retract his. I wish to see you, but must return to Serampore this afternoon, as I am to be at [Bankura?] to morrow morning early. I have engaged to drive in town on Friday. If therefore you could [come?] up on that day I shall be at liberty from Two Oclock till Six, and we could talk over the whole.

                                    I am, My Dear Wallich

                                                      Affy yours

                                                                        W Carey
