LODSWORTH,

PETWORTH.

April 18.

Dear Mr Laszlo

Thank you for your letter. I have arranged with Mr [d’Annalle?] to dine at my table, & Cope^[1] has invited all the artists to dine with him & discuss accompanists etc.

I am sorry you could not come & see the Studio at 1 Abbey Road. Since you are looking for a house, it is a very fine studio & large house with almost an acre of gardens with big tree. [illegible] perhaps you would like to hear more when we meet on the 9th I think it might interest you.

Yours sincerely

Charles Sims.
