      TRANSCRIPT:

      House of Commons
      May 16th 1912

      My dearest Venetia

      I know you will accept my assurance about this afternoon when I say that I was engaged on work so deeply and urgently that I could neither telephone nor come.

      After all its my loss and so perhaps you will realise that not coming was in itself sufficient punishment.

      I shall see you tomorrow. Please dont be angry with me. I am so sorry for myself

      Yrs ever
      Edwin S. Montagu
