Dear Friend
If no ugly Demon interferes it is proposed by "the greatest writer in the World!" -- and her sublime Two Thirds -- to come within the
"hospitable clutches" at lunch on Monday and escape from the same on Wednesday morning. -- I have seen a charming cottage at Godalming, and she is going to decide on it. 514
If our visit shouldn't be convenient let us know -- if not don't answer this.
Ever yours
G. H. L.
