      TRANSCRIPT:

      House of Commons
      June 15th 1911.

      Dear Miss Stanley

      I did try so hard but I’m that pushed I could not simply do it.

      In any case I can get away from W.R. {1} at once on plea of work and shall get back here about 9.

      But damn!

      I enjoyed you at lunch so awfully that thank you—but I wanted more!

      Yrs gratefully
      Edwin Montagu
