Dear Mr. Grigson

I thank you so very much for your kind letter and suggestions, which I will take very seriously.

I do hope you can manage to come soon to London and talk it over with me.

Please give my kind greetings to Mrs. Grigson which I had the great pleasure to see with Mrs. Beran in Dartington.

Yours sincerely
