My dear Tante

Will you lunch on Thursday if you are not at Cambridge? Have you had fun there up to now. I had a glacial 3 days at Alderley and now am fixed here for ever, thank God.

Yours
Venetia Stanley

I am glad you liked the extract I sent you, it was meant to reach you on your birthday (to-day isnt it, very many happy returns of it) and to show you that your large band of warm admirers were still thinking of you.
