eight o'clock
You have been mentioned to me as one likely to be interested in the subject I propose to deal with . I permit myself to send you a printed syllabus of the course , and to say that it will give me great pleasure if you are able to attend . I should like to arrange for two lectures weekly , each of an hour 's duration ; the days I leave undecided , also the hour , as I wish to adapt these to the convenience of my hearers . If you feel inclined to give thought to the matter , will you meet me at the lecture-room at eight o'clock on the evening of Sunday , August 16 , when we could discuss details ? The lectures themselves had better , I should think , begin with the month of September . ` Reply to this is unnecessary ; I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you on the 16th . -- Believe me to be yours very truly , ` WALTER EGREMONT .
