Dear Paddon -
Amazing - and we must all be there to hear the Owl[3]. I will see about Mempes[4] [sic] directly - indeed I would have answered your note at once only I am so hard at work - for me!
However à bientôt - and with best wishes, in this matter, and for the New Year to yourself and Mrs Paddon[5],
Always
