We shall be glad to see you and Gryles and I hope your respective wives at Denna one evening next week. I hope by then there will be water in the pool, although the surroundings will not be finished. If it is hot, bring something to bathe in. It will be interesting if you will come over in the Phantom Three, so that we can see what the springing is like on roads that we know. Any day would suit me except Monday. Yours sincerely, Richard. Thursday? GRF | ||
