Dear Louis

 

Elaborate catastrophe here: don't know what it means, except that I have to go on Wednesday 27th. Anyhow, I shan't have an address till June 7 when I hope to meet you at the show. Hope all well with you. I enclose a second card for J.C. to whom pray offer my salaams. Too busy packing to write properly. All when we meet!

 

Yours

 

Aleister
