Dear Mr.Robotham, In view of the weather conditions obtaining at the moment, I may have a somewhat difficult journey on Thursday, and therefore I think it wise to ask you to forgive me in advance if I should happen to be late. If that does happen, I shall be quite happy to wait your convenience, and in any case if all is well, the business should not take very long to get through. Yours sincerely, Montague Tombs | ||
