Dear Miss Holbrook,

I wanted to write and inform you of the arrangements for this Monday. Due to an oversight on my part, I will be at a medical conference and will be unable to escort you to London. In my stead, I will be sending my trusted friend, Levi Desmott. He is traveling from Manchester to London on Monday morning by train. If you are agreeable, he will retrieve you and your chosen companion from St. Agatha's and accompany you to Mr. Farley's residence, where I am assured you will be greeted with the utmost warmth. I can promise the same from Mr. Desmott. He is the essence of a gentleman.

Best regards,
