I think I've filled in a few gaps but still needs tweaking a bit.
Dear Jack thanks for your letter ? ? hes pleased Cot can have us she will come down one morning to fetch us then she can see Cot. We shall arrive Thursday night hoping it wont trouble you love from us both B and J
Not sure about the person having them, the first letter doesn't look flowery enough to be an L, as in the style of the other capitals, so that C more likely. Could be some sort of pet name?

I don't think it reads as if Cot is elsewhere. The card appears to be written by B to Jack saying that someone else (which I think is a forename and surname) is pleased that Cot (Jack's wife) can put them up. The 'someone else' will pick them up in the morning and take them to Jack & Cot's house expecting to arrive in Wimbledon on Thursday night.
