3 Just a line to wish you all a good voyage & a good time. Stay as long
4as you can. I am enclosing a little note to be read at the Races
5Congress. Please post it to Secretary Spiller. ^I’ve lost his address.^

7board. When I think you are really going to see England & London –
8my London, a big lump comes in my throat.
