DescriptionHe is uncertain whether he should wait on Russell that evening, as he is 'at present engag'd on a very tiresome & disagreable business indeed'. He will come if he can, but Russell and the other gentleman can settle matters without Seward. The [Royal Society] Club will agree any resolutions. He hopes to accept Russell's invitation to the George & Vulture very soon.
