My dear Uncle Philip,

I enclose copy of the letter received from Mr. Manson and of my reply.^[1] I hope this will materialise as we want it.

It was nice to see Diana looking so well and pretty at the Keppel wedding yesterday, but it was too bad Stephen could not be there.^[2]

Your affectionate nephew

Sam
