Saturday.
My dear Blackwood
Enclosed is a letter from G.E. Observe: the Putney station is the pleasantest and quite as near as Wandsworth. On coming up the steps at Putney, turn round to your left, at the corner, by the butcher, and keep straight on, down the lane, till you come to a turning (the 2nd on your right) having a finger post "To Wimbledon Park Road." This turning will bring you to Holly Lodge, which is the last villa but three on the left.
We dine at 'bd past 5, but as much sooner as you can contrive to come by so much the more welcome will you be. Drop me a line to say what day, in order that no other visitor may be admitted.
Ever yours faithfully,
G. H. L.
