He begins by apologising for being 'in such a hurry' when Davey called at his house that morning that he 'did not immediately open my Friend Rennie's letter In fact I was just starting, as you perhaps saw, to visit a Patient in the Country'. Should Davey 'not have succeeded in meeting with Mr. Bell' Watson will have 'great pleasure in shewing you the London University'. He can 'with difficulty' suggest a time when he is 'sure to be found at home', but he 'must be at the Middlesex Hospital' on the following day between noon and one o'clock, 'where I shall be very glad to see you if you think I can be useful to you'.
