[To A.F.Chambers.] Ozone Hotel Bridlington 18.XII.34 Dear Jock I hate the idea of your doing such a journey for only a day. The mere cost of it! They have indeed given you a measly holiday. Here I have no time-tables and cannot look up your possible trains. Wool is no metropolis and Christmas is wrecked. I think ... a Sunday on the line. Perhaps you can find out. If the trains up and down are convenient, then it might just be worth your while. It is distraction for I had looked forward to a few nights of talking. Don't bring your axe, anyhow. If you do come, let me know the hour of arrival at Wool and I will meet you there. With one. The tenancy question of the Knowles' holding has been as yet only mentioned between Pat and myself, but is down [sic] for division during the Christmas period. I am concerned to have the garden looked after, of course. If you can't come I shall be sorry : but I beg you to do nothing extravagant. Yours T.E.S.
