Transcript
18 Mansfield Street, Portland Place, W.
Saturday
My dear Mr Montagu
Could you come and stay at Penrhos on Friday July 14th, or could you get away on Wednesday and come for the Prince of Wales’ Investiture at Carnarvon.
The Prime {1} and Violet are coming and Violet is going to stay over Sunday {2}. Its very easy to get to, and if you feel scruples about leaving the India Office for so long you can come by a night train Friday and if you are really conscientious you can go back Sunday night.
I know its fearfully far for such a short time, but it would be very nice if you would come.
I hope the outer Hebrides are proving a success.
Yrs
Venetia Stanley
