         <p>My dear Mr McLean</p>
         <p>I entirely forgot that I am engaged to dine with Col. Wyatt &amp; his Men on Thursday evening—having refused all his many invitations since I arrived; until I should be at liberty will you kindly allow of this excuse? and, if you have not otherwise arranged, allow me to see you on Wednesday or Friday: and do you choose, and please let me know.</p>
         <p>     Ever my dr Sir</p>
         <p>             truly yours</p>
         <p>                     Wm Colenso.</p>
