11 Mr Hodgson was delighted with his visit to you. Would it be possible
12for him & myself to meet Solomon Platje at your house on Sunday
13afternoon? I could ask him to meet him here, but I have no private
14room & we could have no real talk in a room crowded with other people.
15If I should be unable to come at the last moment Mr Hodgson might
16still come & meet him. But I am better & shall try to come we had
17better meet rather early, if you are so good as to have us as it gets
18dark so early, about 3 o'clock.

20 I hope you wont think I am taking a liberty in asking this. But I know
21it would be such a pleasure to Mr Hodgson if you can. You might write
22direct to him
