Sunday, morning.
My Dear Haeckel,
I hope you arrived at Glasgow all right and found Mr Rottenburg waiting for you.
I enclose you a letter that has been addressed here, also a cutting from an Edinburgh paper.
Edward B. Pulton’s address is
Wykeham House, Oxford.
I have sent him a note || to say that you may call for him at Cambridge early this week.
I hope you have good news from your family.
If you and Rottenburg care to come through here to-morrow Monday night for dinner we will be delighted to see you. In any || case you might send me a wire to-morrow with your address in London.
I have enjoyed your visit very much and am sorry you have been able to stay so short a time.
With the best remembrances from my wife
Yours very sincerely
John Murray ||
