Crossword Genius

Address thus includes mountain time (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

speak to

'address' is the definition.
(to speak to someone is to address them)

'thus includes mountain time' is the wordplay.
'thus' becomes 'so' (synonyms).
'includes' indicates putting letters inside.
'mountain' becomes 'peak' (the peak of a mountain).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'peak'+'t'='peakt'
'so' placed around 'peakt' is 'SPEAK TO'.

(Another definition for speak to that I've seen is " We will talk in due course".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
