I cant thank you enough for your most lovely present. I expected something funny and you send me something quite beautiful. I simply love it, it is most sweet of you to send it me. Thank you again and again. When will you come to Alderley to see it enshrined in its niche in my room. I do want you to come there again soon. Its ages since you’ve been there, not since the Grand National {1} I believe.

I go away tomorrow evening, I wonder if I shall see you again before that, the Prime is com-ing to see me at 6 this evening, and I suppose later than that, for he will only stay a very short time, would clash with dinner for you.
Its sad the zest I have to see my friends and the little opportunity I have of doing it!

Sealed Orders {2} was rather boring for the 2nd time running.
Thank you again for my divine little God. I do really love him.

Yrs always
Venetia
