ref. 22988Printed heading Northumberland Miners' Mutual Confident Association with lines through and address changed in Burt's hand to 20 Burton Terrace Newcastle 17 Nov. 1906. Four pages 8vo bifolium good condition. "I rejoice that the N.L. Club is about to give you a complimentary Luncheon. The Committee asked me to propose so to speak the Toast of the Guests. Most reluctantly I had to decline mainly owing to the state of my health but partly too because I am uncertain whether I can be in London in time for the function. I trust and feel sure that there will be a great and appreciative gathering worthy of the guests and of the occasion. It seems almost an age since I saw you and I have often chided myself for not calling upon you. 'Circumstance that unspiritual god' to quote Coleridge has been very adverse to our meeting each other! But I have had many opportunities of inquiring about your health and I have heard reassuring accounts from friends. I am 'picking up' fairly well but I have to be careful and not try to do over much."
