London 15 Sept 1848
My dear Sir,
I must postpone my visit to Wales until after the meeting when I shall be glad to avail myself of Mrs Moorsom’s kind offer._ I have been flying about upon Railways for the last week or 10 days until I am quite upset with something like a hurly burly in the head. _ I must have a few days quiet.-
Could you bring the levels

of the Carnarvan branch with you on Tuesday, and I think it would be well for Forster and Clark to be in London at the meeting, for questions may be put, which I could only answer by reference to them _ Fo[r]ster wants to see me about the [illegible word] which I could settle with him after the meeting.
Yours faithfully,
Robt Stephenson
