Transcript
Admiralty, Whitehall
Sunday.
How can you be so bloody, & why? Is it merely horror at the old generation when compared with the young. Even Raymond wondered what was the matter.
This is I suppose almost worthy of Margot.
Anyhow one mustnt quarrel, but you were bloody to me.
Venetia
This was the vituperative Margot line I wrote you last night! I still repeat you were bloody, but do dine at Winstons & anyhow come & see me before dinner, anytime after 6.
Venetia
