My dear friend

I do not know Mrs de Laszlo’s address at Brighton so I cannot write to thank her for her very kind letter – will you do so for us.

If nothing unexpected prevents me I will be with you on Wednesday probably about seven; I have a council meeting to attend first and that generally lasts till 6.30.

I hope John is going on well and that you are all right.^[1]

Always yours

A.L. Baldry
