Transcript
18 Mansfield Street, Portland Place, W.
Dear Mr Montagu
Its a very long way ahead, but will you come to Penrhôs for Whitsuntide? {1} I expect you wont be able to answer this as it depends on so many things, but you can leave it open and come if you can.
I shall be in London till Wednesday & then away for ages.
I believe the Prime & I are the only people who enjoyed Bridge {2} last night.
Yrs v sincerely {3}
Venetia Stanley
