Summary
Saying that he is "very sorry for what must grieve Mr [William Johnson] Fox: for myself, I beg him earnestly not to see me till his entire convenience, however pleased I shall be to receive the letter you promise on his part"; thanking her for news of "all this music I shall be so thoroughly gratified to hear" (probably a reference to the 1841 publication of Hymns and Anthems, a collection of Flower's musical compositions).
