Addressed to: Mrs Wilson, 39, Hartington Road, Twickenham. Message reads: This view is the upper end of Oxford Road. You see the Hippodrome on left. There are no end of 'Hippodromes' 'Palaces', 'Varieties' etc. The theatres are all closed for the summer so I cannot see a play or opera. It is very hot but I am not quite melted yet. The Hippodrome today has an announcement of a tremendous attraction for next week 'Harry Lauder is coming'. I take good care I dont come. Willie.
