I am afraid I can't manage Monday or Tuesday, the 10th or 11th. I have to be up North at the end of this week, and hope to have a look at Hillingdon. I shall have to leave the visit to Derby until the week after that, but will get in touch with you as soon as I can, because I particularly want to come and see you and Hives. Yours sincerely, S.B.Wilks. | ||
