Dear Sir²

Thank you for your letter. I am delighted to hear your Society will give a home to my Father's chair, and my brother³ & I are very pleased to send it to you —

I think, if you could arrange to have it met at Victoria [2] station, the best way would be to send it by passenger train, then it would require the minimum of packing — The two best trains are 10.7 & 11.53 arriving at Victoria 10.47 & 12.34 — I could arrange to send it one day next week if you like to name a day & the train — I think it would go on the top of a taxi, but would need a cover if this weather continues —

Your name is strangely familiar to me — Did you ever live in Croydon & go to Madame Michaelis's school? I was a student there & knew a Winnie & Roger Hinks & I think an older brother Arthur.

Yours very truly | Violet Wallace⁴ [signature]
