Transcript
18 Mansfield Street, Portland Place, W.
Monday
My dear Mr Montagu
I am glad you can come, will you make Geoffrey or Dudley Ward {1} or someone get you a seat at Carnarvon, you will be able to do this easier than we can owing to your exalted position in the government. You have to wear uniform for the show.
Our positions with regards to the Coronation have been entirely reversed, I now absolutely sympathise with your desire to escape it and wish I had gone away, but then I wasnt in the Abbey.
Yours
Venetia Stanley
