Transcript
18 Mansfield Street, Portland Place, W.
I wonder what your reason is for completely ignoring invitations. I can think of several. First that you have forgotten, Second that you are too indolent, and Third that you dont want to come either tomorrow or at a future date. If the 3rd is the reason your method is to be commended not for its civility but for its thoroughness, for I can promise you that in future you wont have to bother even to remember not to answer.
