Aug 3rd [?1941]

Dear Foss

Do come over one day – it would be nice to have a talk. Would M^rs Foss come down too – that w^d be a great pleasure.  I thoroughly enjoyed my days at Denham – & am quite prepared to do another film provided (1) I like the subject (2) I get good money (3) I have a say as to when & how the music should come in – By the way I’ve had no money for 49th  // l yet – I forget when the 1st wodge of cash is due!¹
