Hyde Park, Nov. 10th 1867
Dear Sir,
I beg to transmit, enclosed duplicate despatch which I received on my way here, the confirming despatch having been delivered in person by ... with which I was attacked in Italy.
I shall be ready to leave for Hong Kong in 10 months' time, and I consider an application for an extension of two months should be made for the restoration of his health.
Yours, etc.
...
To Robinson,
Queen's Gate Terrace,
