I enjoyed my visit to your house immensely and am very much impressed by your Shadow Factories. I hope we shall be able to arrange something about Glasgow at the end of the month; please let me know when you have a very definite idea of when you are going to be up there and I will try and fix something up with Hives. Yours sincerely, | ||
