HIGH BANK,

ADDISCOMBE,

CROYDON.

Queens Friday.

Dear Mr. Wallace.

I am afraid you must think me rather a "rotter" but believe me my behavior is not caused through slackness. I am due at some people’s place in W. D. about five on Sunday and as I must [2] get some fresh country air on Sunday morning it will be difficult to get out much before that hour— however I should much like to look in for a few minutes if I may—only please dont [sic] bother to keep tea.

Yours in haste | E. Harcourt Williams1 [signature]
