Dear Hicks,

Thanks for your card. Delighted to hear you are in town. I cannot manage evenings, I fear, as I live out at Rickmansworth, but any day that suits you will suit me at the Museum (Except March 21st and 22nd ) Drop in any day you are free (not Sundays) about noon and we will have lunch somewhere, and talk over old days. I am working out our plants by degrees. You got a lot of very good things in East Bhutan, and your material is absolutely first class.

I was to have gone to Nepal this summer but it fell through owning to political trouble. I am not greatly disappointed. I am getting to old for these treks.

Yours sincerely,
F. Ludlow
