My Dear
We will fix up something while you are in London. I am sure to be coming up.
I am speaking from London on Sunday – so no travelling except too [sic] and from Dorking. I take the chair at a F.U.1 meeting here on Sat.
& my 1st lecture concert is tomorrow & on the 4th I give away prizes at a school in Penge! So pretty active.
Do you know the last 10 lines or so of P. Unbound?2
Love from
RVW
