Summary
Saying that he can't change the date of his visit to Lord Coleridge in Ottery and "am absolutely occupied during the very days that you suggest"; commenting on Knight's new address, which "is as inscrutable as your last! It reads as if made of 'Gruel and Aluminium'--an unheard of impossible alloy."
