Dear Mrs {1} Pethick Lawrence
I shall be very glad to take tea with you between 4 & 5 p.m on Thursday 4th Decr.
As regards the dinner I thank you cordially for the invitation; but I am going to ask you to excuse me. A dinner, however pleasant, is always a bit of a trial to me, and just now, life has been so strenuous with us, that I am feeling a little run down.
With kindest regards
Yours sincerely
C. Despard

The address printed at the head (Hillcrest, Mayfield, Sussex) has been struck through.
{1} The title resembles ‘Mr’, but is perhaps more likely to be ‘Mrs’.
23 Bruton Street, W.—In Mrs Pethick-Lawrence’s case the proper course would probably be to move the King’s Bench on the ground of informality in the proceedings rather than to ask a question in Parliament.
