Summary
Accepting an invitation to Knight's home the following day at 5 o'clock; saying that she will be going out on the links with her hostess, but she doesn't think that will prevent her from arriving on time; writing of how glad she was to discover that he is at home, since "I made enquiry as soon as I arrived & was told that you had gone away for two months & would not be back till October."
