254 x 203 mm. 1 page handwritten on Capel House, Orlestone letterhead. Fine. "Nothing would have given me greater pleasure but unfortunately I lost my voice some four years ago, so that even a mere reading is out of question for me. But I am very [sensible?] to the honor of the invitation and I thank you warmly for the cordial terms in which you've been kind enough to convey it to me. I am sorry that nothing can come of it for me but regrets. Pray accept an expression of ... regards for Mrs. Sadler and yourself, and believe me very faithfully yours Joseph Conrad." View More...
