Summary
Telling Knight that he has been seriously ill for three months; writing "I am out of the wood now, but can do no more than crawl. I am ordered abroad, & not to work"; writing further that he has had to close down Bedford Chapel "for 6 months, perhaps for a year"; asking if Knight will be in London before the end of the month and if they could meet then.
