Scope and content

States that he would be delighted to see her, but explains that he will be very busy with preparing and delivering lectures until 4 June. Informs her, however, that after 6 June, he shall be quite free. Sets out how he would arrange his day should she come to see him, since he is 'just not vigorous enough to be able to compress [his] work'. Tells her that if she were to come before 6 June, the week ending Tuesday 2 June would be a good time, and that there will be boat processions and 'A.D.C' [theatre productions]. Asks her to tell him of her decision as soon as possible.
