Dear Oakley,
Many thanks for yours. I was sitting next Maycock who
wrote that notice in the Pink ‘Un. He always writes one of ours. You’ll
find a capital one in the B.W. which you thoroughly deserve.
So glad you will play for us, let me know solos by return
& what fee, better send two solos.
I can put you up for the night if you like at my place
with pleasure.
Yours very truly
Clifford Essex
Glad you did not think it cheek my complementing you, but
I was so pleased.
