Scope and content
W[est] H[ackhurst]. - Encloses the letter about Goldie [Lowes Dickinson: enclosure no longer present]. Has an 'unpleasing piece of news' which he 'kept back and indeed lied about yesterday', as he 'did not want to spoil our first meeting [after his return from India]'. Has been given notice to leave this house in November; the owner, Lady Bridges, 'wants it for a "near relative", and since this is so', and also because he has his Chiswick flat, it seems he will not be able to 'benefit by the Rent Restriction Act'.
Has 'already refused to buy a house for £2200 at East Molesey' and is 'trying for one in Hertfordshire'; if he is unable to get one anywhere, 'which is very likely', he 'may warehouse what I haven't sold of the furniture and go for a few months to America'. Hopes 'Agnes will last out the summer'; they are 'looking for unfurnished rooms for her'.
On his return from the Shiffolds, he 'flew back in the car and duly remembered to post your letter. It was so nice seeing you both'.
