Dearest;
Tis settled! I am coming home for good, to be in the London office, and I shall probably arrive on Xmas eve, as I have a lot of settling up to do. Meanwhile, here is the cheque for £40; I hope there is enough to pay the rent, and the Xmas cheer.
I saw Mr. Stone this morning, and he said as I wanted to be in London, and the New York office also wanted me to be in London, he didn’t see why I shouldn’t go to London. Mr. Roberts said he wouldn’t know what to do without me, and so on and so forth.
I don’t know exactly yet what I am expected to do, nor how the Jones affair was settled, but I shall know that soon enough: it suffices for the moment that I shall be beside you in 8 days time!
No more now, as I am frightfully busy,
with love to all, and you don't know
what I've got in my bag. ha ha!
Thine
Jack.
Just drop me a
line to say you’ve
got cheque O.K.
