I left London in the morning with the firm intention of calling in to see you, but it was only by keeping going that I managed to get to Derby before black-out. I hoped that you would realise what had happened. I am looking forward to making the trip as soon as this snow abates. At the present moment, it looks as if this might be in April. Yours sincerely, 1091 | ||
