To Colonel R.Buxton. Clouds Hill Written in haste Tuesday night. Dear Robin I on't telegraph: they are sent on by next day's postman, and so take longer than a letter. And I have no telephone. I shall be here the whole of Easter, and it will be delightful if you and the V8 will come for a moment. no notice necessary. Any day: any time. The only possible entertainment is tea; for in the house are neither kitch nor larder: nor cigarettes nor drinks. What a house ! - or cottage! It would be an excellent run for the new car:I suggest you bring the millionaire as navigating officer. Marlborough - Salisbury Blandford: take the Puddletown Dorchester road out of Blandford for about 4 miles. Then turn L. . down to Brydged, to Winterborne Kingston, and Bere Regis. In Bere Regis cut straight across the main road (where an R.A.C. man stands) and make for the about 2 1/2 miles: when you will cross a sk...h yr a narrow bridge, and ascend a long slope, on to a heath, to the top of a very large and steep tumulus-mound. You will then be 2 1/ miles from Bere Regis. After the crest of the mound, run down 100 yards, and take a by-road to the L. across the heath. After 1/3 of this comes a steep dip. Turn L at the foot, and my cottage is 50 yards down the turn. Do come . It will be a delight to show you my simplicities. Yours T.E.S.
