18 Mansfield Street, Portland Place, W.
Saturday

My dear Mr Montagu

Could you come and stay at Penrhos on Friday July 14th, or could you get away on Wednesday and come for the Prince of Wales’ Investiture at Carnarvon.

The Prime {1} and Violet are coming and Violet is going to stay over Sunday {2}. Its very easy to get to, and if you feel scruples about leaving the India Office for so long you can come by a night train Friday and if you are really conscientious you can go back Sunday night.

I know its fearfully far for such a short time, but it would be very nice if you would come.

I hope the outer Hebrides are proving a success.

Yrs
Venetia Stanley

With carbon copy of letter from R. A. Butler to William Clark, 21 Apr. 1953

Colonial Society, 16 St James [sic] Square. - Recommends Crown pension for the widow of Thomas Pringle, author of the accompanying poems [no longer present]; she receives £20 from the Queen's Bounty but her special claims are set out in newspaper article [no longer present]; Milnes must consider related issues as a member of the West African Committee; own suggestions [missing] might benefit her. Colonel Fox knew Pringle in South Africa and has been kind to his widow.

Cautioning against excessive eulogies.

Carstairs. - Congratulating Houghton on his speech at the celebrations for the centenary of Sir Walter Scott.

Grosvenor Place. - Milnes' remark at Countess Walewski's incorrectly suggested Mahon bears him ill-will; no political or literary grounds for rivalry; proposed Milnes for new House-List at Athenaeum last year; merely turned down membership of Philobiblon Society owing to lack of free time; did not take personal offence when Milnes declined to join the Society of Antiquities; hopes Milnes spoke in haste and will dismiss the notion.

Tettenhall, Wolverhampton. - Sends report of Staffordshire magistrates [no longer present] on subject recently introduced to the House by Milnes.
