Sometimes one wishes to befriend another and it proves to the contrary. E. Slade phoned Sam at 9 pm and asked if we thought you knew your tenant was moving out. It seems that the B. [girls] were at a tenement where Mr S. was working and were speaking about moving. I asked [__] what I should do and he advised me to notify you. Hence the post-card of yesterday. Sorry I have caused you any anxiety and expense- it was unintentional- Mr Slade was very premature.
Sincerely-
