Summary
Concerning an invitation; apologizing that he cannot come on the 15th of June as "...we have planned to go away then for a brief holiday. The absurd & wretched thing is that I seem to be forgetting how to transform plans into anything more substantial; & seem always to be struggling in some kind of literary net. I wonder if I may let you know when I can come - hoping that Siegfried would still receive me in the good old feudal fashion"; making an apparent reference to his story "Sambo and the Snow Mountains" (included in his Collected Stories for Children, Faber & Faber, 1947).
