Dear Sir

I should be charmed to avail myself of your very kind hos—
pitality, but fearing that it may be rather awkward owing to the
peculiar circumstances of dgy visit. I beg of you to excuse me. Each
evening is engaged at some town or another, and I have a colored
stranger, and servant to look after, as unfortunately my English
servant does not understand the colored man's wishes.

As I have only one eVening at Canbridge, can you not make it
a dinner only at your house, when I should be extremely happy to
meet you & your friends, I should also be delighted to h€3§ Dr.
Humphreys occupy the chair.

By the bye as I have two lectures prepared and as Cambridge
is one of the learned places in England, I should say that the
Lecture "The Dark Continent and its people", or "Africa & the
Africans" would be the most appropriate to deliver there, but if‘
you think that thenarrative will have more popular interest . I

leave it to you to decide. A letter addressed between next Friday

Hf
and Tuesday the 29th to Neevstead Abbey Nottingham will find me.

Yours with many thanks

Henry M. Stanley.

Robt. Bowes Esq.
