Summary
Writing that it would be nice to see him again, that they are going to see "Judith" and she will consult with H.G. (Wells) about a possible weekend visit; informing him that they will be going off on a motor trip of Sussex on Monday and remarking that "I've just smacked Anthony, and his attendant virgin has said severely, 'Anthony is a child who is all the better for a little capital punishment.' Too harsh a judgment I protest. He's quite a nice child."
