Addressed to Julian at Durham Wharf, Hammersmith Terrace, London, S.W.6.; corrected to W6, presumably by Royal Mail. - Met Pero Kolić of Dubrovnik yesterday, who seems to know Julian 'quite well' and would very much like to see him again. He is currently staying at the Abinger Hatch Hotel with Joan [Allen]'s parents, whom he made friends with last year at Dubrovnik, but is returning to London in a day or two and staying at he Hotel Monopol, Tavistock Square. Bob only talked to him for a few minutes but "liked him very much", and the Gills say he is 'a little lonely in London'; his stay in London will probably not be long. Glad Ursula is well again.
