Dear Robotham, We should very much like to come up and see you again and play a return match. The immediate difficulty is though that I carried out your instructions on the witching waves so thoroughly that my ankle is not yet strong enough to play Squash, nor is it likely to be really right for another month or so. Will this be too late from your point of view, because if so I will get a team together, bring them up and umpire, which would be the only excuse I should have for coming. Yours sincerely, S B Wilks | ||
