Scope and content

W[est] H[ackhurst]. - In response to her 'kind invitation', he could come to stay for the night next Saturday or Sunday; however, since it is the Easter weekend, she may have other visitors. Must be here on Tuesday 'in the hope that a workman will turn up, indeed he will cast a shadow on all plans until he does turn up'. If this Saturday or Sunday do not suit, will suggest other dates as soon as he can. Expects the bus will be all right; can walk if it 'fails' as he will 'only have a rucksack'. Asks her to tell him 'what food I can bring if I can'.

Very pleased she liked his broadcast; is now 'preparing one of a very different kind on Iqbal'. Sends love, also to Bob; is looking forward to his visit.
