4^th July 1850

Dear Brayley -

This Afternoon M^r Frederick Ayrton and M. Arnauld d'Abbadie

called on me here. - I already knew of the arrival in London of Mess^rs Arnauld

and Charles d'Abbadie whom, and not Mess^rs Antoine and Arnauld d'Abbadie

I take to be "the Mess^rs d'Abbadie" of M^r Ayrton's Note (enclosed herein) - and I

was also aware of their intention to call on me with M^r Ayrton and of the object

of their visit; an dhaving on the 24^th January 1848 declined communicating with

M^r Ayrton respecting M. Antoine d'Abbadie except in writing, I of course refused

to see him and M. Arnauld d'Abbadie. Upon this M^r Ayrton left the

accompanying Note written by himself, which he had brought with him ready

sealed and addressed to me. -

For the following reasons, I must equally decline replying to this Note.

During the years 1847, 1848 and 1849, a rather voluminous correspondence

took place (as you are aware) between M^r Ayrton and myself respecting M. Antoine

d'Abbadie. This correspondence terminated by my writing to M^r Ayrton on the 24^th

February 1849 - "I now feel myself justified in expressing unreservedly my disbelief in

the reality of M. d'Abbadie's alleged journey from Godjam to Kaffa in 1843", to

which M^r Ayrton replied on the 27^th of the same month - " You have now stated

explicitly that you disbelieve a statement made by him (M. d'Abbadie), and it

will be my duty, as quickly as possible, to communicate this circumstance to him, in

order that he may take proper steps for vindicating himself from the imputation you

have thus cast on him"; and in acknowledging on the following day the receipt

of this Letter of M^r Ayrton, I expressly "closed the correspondence". -

On the 3^rd of the following Month (March 1849) M^r Ayrton published a Letter

in the Athenæum (N° 1114), disclaiming, on behalf of M. Antoine d'Abbadie, the

charges in my correspondence - and also in a communication from me printed in

a previous number of the same Journal (N° 1112) and pledging himself that when

M. Antoine d'Abbadie, who was then in Egypt, returned to Europe, he would

himself answer my allegations. -

Upwards of a twelvemonth ago M. Antoine d'Abbadie returned to France

and in the month of October last he came over to England - If he had intended to
