Will you dine here on Thursday or Friday? I’ll tell you what you will get both evenings so that you can choose which appears most promising or reject them both. Friday Violet and I thought it would be fun to go to “Diplomacy” {1} which is said to be good, and Thursday its merely to play bridge here. 8.15.
I rather want to talk to you about Whitsuntide {2} and the grebes and Penrhôs.
Geoffrey, whom I saw at a ball, tells me you have moved into your house, but I’ve forgotten your number.
