18 Mansfield Street, Portland Place, W.
Wednesday
My dear Mr Montagu
I wonder whether you have come back from Spain yet, or whether your cold proved too much for you. If you are back do come to lunch one day before you go off again, any-day† this week except Friday, Saturday would be best for me.
I am glad you liked the Rest Cure {1}.
I advise you to go to Holyhead next week if you do leave London to avoid the Coronation {2}, it was quite divine at Whitsuntide {3}, I have never been so happy.
Yrs
Venetia Stanley
