TRANSCRIPT:
India Office
28.6.1910.
Dear Miss Stanley
I’m sorry you cant come Thursday. Anent my dishonesty perhaps you’re right but I do think you’re not altogether.
When I try to collect coolly a medley of attitudes I know
(1) that I’m still a little frightened of you.
(2) that I talk a great deal.
(3) often very nakedly.
(4) that an attractive sentiment really just made out to fill a gap in conversation becomes developed irresistibly to astonishing proportions.
However there it is. You are welcome to think I’m dishonest in pretending, really pretending, or honestly {1} to account for thinks {2} as your own unlimited shrewdness suggests to you. I’m too slack and too busy to write at the length necessary really to explain myself—for which be properly grateful.
Give me a chance to continue before the end of the century!
Yrs
Edwin S. Montagu
