| Content Summary: |
He would like to speak to Laurence after his tour to Newcastle, but it will be some weeks before he is allowed to talk to anyone. But (and keep this to himself) his convalescence has not yet appeared and until the pain which has settled goes away ... He very much hopes that Laurence will soon come to see him and cheer him up. There will be a lot to talk over and to do, but he must get out of Glasgow first. It will be no good Laurence's travelling round with the company? Perhaps he will look in on them and on Harry. Then he fancies Laurence would prefer London. |
