ROMILLY

(later Sir) George Edward PAGET, (1809-1892, of Gonville & Caius, Cambridge, from 1872 Regius Professor of Physic), thanking him for your most kind invitation to eat my Christmas dinner with you & Mrs Paget. I cannot have the pleasure of doing so as I have a nephew coming to me with his little by. The youngster is recovering from the whooping cough; had he been thoroughly well I should ere now have written to beg Edmund to be his companion. May good health & happiness attend you & Mrs Paget..., 2 sides small 8vo, Friday night, 13th December no year
