Dear Mr. Payne 23
Mr. Lewes tells me that I shrink from a duty in being unwilling to talk to you on the subject you mention, 24 so I am compunctious.
Can you come and take a cup of tea with us on Wednesday at 'bc past 8? We can then talk for an hour without fear of interruption.
Sincerely yours
M. E. Lewes.
