My dear Miss Philip
I am writing this, not from the office, because I wish to catch this post.
I think, as you find Mr Kelly's[3] hours of business interviews are only in the morning, and this is a case in which [p. 2] sudden interviews at any time of the business day may be necessary, it would be well to ask Mr Kelly if you may see Mr Boddington[4] on it when need arises. If Mr Kelly should feel as he probably might that our [friend?] should attend to it altogether he might prefer that Mr Boddington should take it up entirely, having of course [p. 3] the advantage of consultation with Mr Kelly on any important point. I do not see any objection to this - Probably Jeanne[5] would tell more to Mr Boddington than to you, he having the advantage of the knowledge of what transpired at yr interview with her.
Yours sincerely
William Webb
Miss Philip
