malthus to ricardo1

Dear Sir,

I am just returned from the bustle of Cambridge,2 and hasten to say that I hope I shall very soon be able to thank you in person for your obliging letter.3

I expect to be in Town tomorrow and have written to Mr. Sharpe to say that I would breakfast with him on tuesday.4 I hope you will be able to join us, if he is disengaged, as I fear my stay in Town will be short, and I may not be able to find an afternoon that is not preoccupied.

I am dear Sir Sincerely Yours

T R Malthus
