Scope and content
Postmarked Abinger Hammer, addressed to ‘Mrs Trevelyan, The Shiffolds, Holmbury St Mary, Dorking’. - Has ‘no luck’: Malcolm Darling and April want to visit on Tuesday 14th, and since April is getting married and ‘wants to see if any of the glass or china here is suitable’, he must let her come. Asks if Friday 17th would work instead. ‘Poor Philip [Bessie’s grandson’ - I did him out of his cups, and you out of 10/-‘. They have found some cups here, and Agnes thought ‘a mug would be nice for him’, but perhaps he doesn’t like mugs.
