London, 11 September 1879 

Dear Moor, 

Letters received.’ Yesterday Hirsch called at my house where he 
also encountered the Lafargues and Henry Juta; he is going to 
bring me the stuff I had returned to him earlier on, and then J 
shall set to work forthwith.° 

Laura and Paul, i.e. notably the latter, said they would be 
coming again next Sunday evening.© Much though we appreciate 
this, it is a matter that calls for careful consideration on account of 
Tussy. Since our return, she has been dining with us on Sundays 
and I shall, needless to say, invite her for next Sunday as well. As 
Paul had said the Longuets would be returning this week, I had 
thought of going to see Jenny tomorrow or the day after and 
asking her to help me out of this quandary by taking over Tussy 
for the evening. But on leaving, Laura said that Jenny wouldn't be 
back till Saturday, and so I have no other recourse than to contrive 
things in this way. If it’s feasible, let me know at once; if not, some 
other way out must be found. The Lafargues never arrive before 
7 o'clock. 

Kindest regards. For three days now Jollymeier has been much 
better—Buxton probably not necessary. 

Your 
F. E.
