Transcript

18 Mansfield Street, Portland Place, W.
Friday

I stupidly forgot, when I asked you to lunch, that I was going to a wedding in the afternoon which starts at 1.45 {1}. I am so sorry. Will you come in the afternoon or to tea? Let me know if you will come. Have you remembered Sylvia?

What fun we had last night. I think your house quite lovely, you have been disappointingly successful and independant†.

Venetia

—————

{1} Probably the wedding of William Ormsby-Gore and Beatrice Cecil, which took place at Westminster Abbey on the afternoon of Saturday, 12 April 1913. Venetia attended both the ceremony and the reception afterwards at 20 Arlington Street. See The Times, 14 April, p. 8.

† Sic.
(Dated Friday.)
