The letter is an apology from Byron for cancelling plans with Major Cartwright at the last minute on 26 June 1813.

It reads: "Dear Sir, It is with great regret I find that it will be necessary for me to leave London tomorrow morning - and thus be prevented the pleasure I had promised myself in meeting you & Sir F. tomorrow.

"I was not aware of this till the Post came in this morning, which must be my apology for not acquainting you with the circumstances before. I am truly yrs B". ( [www.bbc.co.uk] )
