18 Mansfield Street, Portland Place, W.
Dont be rusty about your feast or fast!
Ought I to have stayed? I might I suppose, but you might also have chucked it, but you were quite right not to, tho’ I feel rather moped at this infernal journey alone.
Try & come early.
Norah was a bore but I got some dogs and a nicer hack so that’s to the good. Tell Sir E {1} I shall love to lunch on Monday.
I told Katharine I’d been rather bloody to you and she was much concerned and said I was a bitch. I daresay she’s right.
