49-A ANEE R Booth (Notations at top left of page top right of page)

Dear G. (Jas. L; raham - penciled-in notations next to Mr. Booth's salutation)

The little 'B' will not be able to go out this morning, and indeed my knee is in such a painful state that I doubt if I can leave the house.

I promised to see [illegible] today & I ought to go to the bank -- therefore I may be obliged to go to town -- so if we have not prevented you from going to the 'House' -- stop round to the studio after you get through sight-seeing,

---

but if you conclude not to visit that institution today call up soon & take a smoke.

I am [trying ?] the ['Acmite ?] & chloroform', it is a severe application & wonder we 'pray' for an hour at the stretch.

Yours --

Big B

Saturday morning
