Wednesday

Can you come to lunch on Saturday, or, which I would rather, lateish (by that I mean 6 o’clock about) tomorrow. I havent seen you to talk to since Penrhos.

Your party last night was such fun. I did love it so, also your motor made the Derby very easy to do. It was nice of you to lend it, but we saw none of the excitements {1}.

Yrs
Venetia
