Tel: Regent 6020 Dear Oy, I hear from Hives that you are at present incognito in London, and that we may have the pleasure of your company in Derby next week. I understand that you may come up to Derby on Tuesday next; if you will be good enough to let me know when you will be ready to leave London, I will arrange for a Phantom III to pick you up. Needless to say, I shall be delighted to do anything I can to entertain you and your family whilst you are in Derby, but obviously cannot expect to monopolise your time as you have so many old friends in the district. However, as soon as I know how long you are likely to be here and what time you will have to spare, we will see what we can fix up. I am sorry to say that you are going to be a little early for the best of the countryside, as Spring is about three weeks behind here, but if we get a few days' sunshine we shall be able to produce a few flowers. Yours sincerely, | ||
