Transcription:
"M d Φ
I am very much ashamed of myself to find that I had not returned your list of exps with comments. I was sure I had. But I have found it now here. I write [p?] to Dickens and expect to hear from him again as to details. I arranged another two candidates. 1/2 are to come in morning and 1/2 in afternoon and all are to be down on the one day. You will travel up on Wednesday might I suppose. I return your duplicate list.
