Summary
Apologizing for not having written earlier and suggesting times when he might be able to see him; saying "I don't know when you dine, but an excellent time to catch me is about six o'clock - on a Monday, Wed. & Frid...I am pretty sure to be at home then - Between 8 & 10-30 I am rarely at home. It is the time when I go out to see my friends - or to a theatre or concert - I have had enough of my own rooms & my own company by 8 - & if I spend the whole evening in a smokey room I get a headache."
