Train from Waterloo 5.45 pm. reaches Lyndhurst Road at 8.28. Look out for us at Woking, where I find we shall have to wait an hour! We will bring the necessaries. I have bought Willie3 a small zinc collg. box but a spare one will be useful for storing specimens. Mr. Warburg4 has written about our cottage. Tell him to come & see it. I have written to him.
