O.K. for [Saturday]

arr[ive] Hastings 11.40.

Should try Brooke & Savile, best bookseller here, in Robertson St, 100 yds from Memorial, where you get Service 2 (Circular Route) 12.35 arr[ive] Netherwood (most conductors know it, or Ripon Lodge, or just past Sandrock) about 12.50 in time for lunch. Name of house in gate in big white lettering.

Disaster! Dropped this pen once too often; now I have to dip it, and even so - well you see! You seem to have the lucky touch: can you find me a new one? Prefer it a “presentation” specimen, with gold etc. Nib medium to broad if possible. Any old price! It’s my life-line. Awkward writing at all with this; so I close.
