Transcript

Alderley Park, Chelford, Cheshire
Tuesday

I think Arthur is writing to accept your offer to speak joyfully I dont know what day he would like you to come, but will you, whenever it is, come back here after the meeting. There is no canvassing to be done which is glorious and he does all his meetings from here. They are rather anxious about the result. I am going there this evening to a meeting, after hunting which I am starting out for now.

Yrs ever
Venetia Stanley
