_Charles Holcombe to Philip Renwick._
P.Q.R.
_10th August, 1914._
MY DEAR PHIL,--Awfully sorry; no luck _re_ Thursday. Boss hopeless. I
broached the matter this morning (without actually asking for
permission), but I fear the worst. You had better get another man for
the Paddlewick match. So sorry.
Yours ever,
CHARLIE HOLCOMBE.
