Dear Professor Stokes
Unexpectedly and to my great regret important business which will not suffer delay obliges me to attend a meeting of Council on Tuesday next at the Royal Academy. I write therefore to ask you to pardon me if I do not as I had hoped pay you and the Royal Society my respects on that evening at your interesting Annual Banquet.
Believe me with sincere expressions of regret
Yours very truly
Fred Leighton
