Dear Kolle.

I inclose an Invitation for yourself and both your brothers4 for the 11th. I do not like after partaking so liberally of your hospitality to leave any onepg 16 out.

4 John Henry (1807–69) and Charles Edward Kolle (1812–75). John apparently joined his father in business and was later a horsehair manufacturer in Grays Inn Lane. They both became more prosperous than their brother Henry, leaving nearly £50,000 each.
Editor’s Note
1 i.e., presumably, liverish after drinking too much.
