Transcript
18 Mansfield Street, Portland Place, W.
May 7th 1913
The P.M. tells me that you are going to escape from Cambridge for Whitsuntide {1}. As I am afraid your plan with him wont come to anything, are you at a loose end and would you like to come to Penrhos. You’d find all the people you like congregated there, Bluey, Conrad and so on. I suppose you would have to go back on Tuesday so you might think it rather far. Anyway we expect you on the 16th or 17th. I advise you, if you can face rather a dull life to stay there all the following week, I am feeling so ill myself that for the first time you’ll find my† a sympathetic and interested and understanding listener to symptoms and a perfect companion for an invalid. This change has been brought about by Scotland.
I go to Penrhos tomorrow at 1 o’clock. Let me know what you decide to do.
Yours
Venetia
