Oct 19th. [19]30.

Dear de Lâszlò

I refused the kind invitation to your banquet much to my chagrin and because my excuse is a very real one, and I have a Housefull [sic] for shooting, and my guests arrive that very day. I assure you I am very sorry, and I wish so much that I could have accepted.

Will you please let me have a photo of your picture of Mrs van der Byl [3100].

We send our congratulations on your son’s engagement.^[1]

With kind regards from us both to your wife, | Yours sincerely

Albemarle
