B.E.F.

Dear Alan,

Expect to be coming home on Thursday but do not know within a few hours what time I shall reach Victoria.  Consequently it has hardly worth while making an appointment with you in town.  However I will wire you from Folkestone time of my arrival at Victoria so if you possibly can meet me outside the Railway Transport Officers (R.T.O.) there.  If you are not there I will not wait for you but may possibly come down to Dartford to spend the night.  In any case I want to spend Friday in town for I want to see Thorpe and also to buy several things.

Will probably travel north by a circuitous route Friday night or Saturday morning.

Well I think this is all for the present

                        Dick
