TRANSCRIPT:
House of Commons
July 25 1911
Dear Venetia
Thanks for your letter {1}.
Your† quite right to jeer. But I was so convinced you would do rightly if you knew the facts that I was anxious you should have them.
I wonder what my mad […] {2} said. I am awfully distressed by my d—d speech. I feel it getting more impossible every moment—and I keep thinking other things—lunch today for instance and smiling!
Yrs
Edwin S. Montagu
[Added at the head:] Got your note at 8.30 or I believe I should have come to Downing in spite of every thing.
