_ '' _ 25 September , 6:30 p. m. _ `` My dear Dr. Van Helsing , -- `` A thousand thanks for your kind letter , which has taken a great weight off my mind . And yet , if it be true , what terrible things there are in the world , and what an awful thing if that man , that monster , be really in London ! I fear to think . I have this moment , whilst writing , had a wire from Jonathan , saying that he leaves by the 6:25 to-night from Launceston and will be here at 10:18 , so that I shall have no fear to-night . Will you , therefore , instead of lunching with us , please come to breakfast at eight o'clock , if this be not too early for you ? You can get away , if you are in a hurry , by the 10:30 train , which will bring you to Paddington by 2:35 . Do not answer this , as I shall take it that , if I do not hear , you will come to breakfast .
