On imprinted letterhead to Mr. In full: I want to apologise for not having written to you before, explaining why I didn't come up to town the week I intended. I've only just arrived here, after nearly a month of poverty and bad health in the country, a time when I really couldn't write any letters at all or do anything except moon & moan about. Could we meet this week, or early next week? I shall be in London, I hope, until just before Christmas. I [word crossed out] rang you up the day of of my arrival, but could get no answer.

The work was published posthumously in 1954. Lightly creased at upper blank margin.
