Transcript

Penrhôs, Holyhead
Wednesday

One lightening† line before we start off to motor to Alderley to thank you a thousand times for the most lovely present you sent me. I shall always wear it, tho’ I’m afraid that I cant possibly hope every† to reach the Everest pinnacle of beauty which the picture you sent represents. She is just like the heroine of a magazine story, and therefore dazzling.

I am miserable at leaving this place.

Are you coming to Alderley or not, over Sunday. Could you send me a telegram there tomorrow, you will meet the Pride of Cheshire if you come.

I meant to answer your letter, but shall be able to do so verbally if you come.

Yrs
Venetia Stanley {1}

If you can come try and get away Friday evening by the 6 o’clock train to Wilmslow. Its far the best
