The days being short, I hope to come down to Bristol on Friday morning, and will be with you at about 11.30.a.m. I hope to leave about 1.30 because driving conditions are so bad at night and I want to be back before "Black-out". I expect we can cover the ground in about half an hour and then I will get back. Yours sincerely, Dicated, but signed in Mr. Robotham's absence. | ||
