A friend is coming on Thursday and Friday so ARW can't come to Meldola's meeting on Friday.
Have let their house for a month from 8th August. Will go to the New Forest for a week or two weeks, and then to Swanage, Dorset. "I want to give Willie a treat in fossils." Has received an invitation from Lord Mount Temple, of Broadlands. "I much prefer the quiet of Swanage and shall decline of course." Does Meldola know of anyone the ARW's could lodge with in the New Forest? Invites him to stay.
Unable to get room in Swanage they are in Weymouth. On the way, Mrs Wallace met a gentleman who recommended a place to stay in Lyndhurst, where they will stay from 23 August for two weeks - Laurel Cottage. Perhaps Meldola will come on Saturday and see about his lodging (60 St Thomas' St Weymouth).
