Scope and content

'Monday' - Will probably come to London on 16 Mar., since Drury, who's now in South Wales, wants to see him and suggested meeting them in there. Wants to spend the afternoon of 18 Mar. with Pattisson if possible, 'going through all the ritual meals etc etc'. Has had 'slight accident' and broken a rib; 'thought of having it removed & of having a wife made of it, but they tell me that the art of making women out of ribs has been lost'.
