N.W.3.

21 Oct 1930

Dear Mrs de Laszlo,

I am very pleased that you & Mr de Laszlo can dine here on Tuesday next, Oct 28. dinner is at 8.15.

I had to telephone as the time is so short. Violet Lady Beaumont, Lord & Lady Verulam^[1] & a few others are coming.

My house is small, so that I cannot have many.

Yours truly

[Moral?]
