Hi Phoo,

Just two points:

by next afternoon. This is relative to now and needs to be changed to by the following afternoon as a description.

near here. Again this is relative to where we are now and could be changed to near there as a description or you could describe it as in the vicinity.

If you like, you could look at some material I've written for the site on reported/indirect speech
