My dear Philip

Of course you shall have my portrait [6191] for your Exhibition^[1] and it shall be delivered to Mr. Reilly when he calls on the 23rd. I think perhaps it may need varnishing, but of that you will be the best judge.

We hope very much to see you & Lucy^[2] again soon. Could you both come to luncheon with us here on Wed: 30th at 1.30? It would be very nice if you could

Yours ever,

Lee.

Editorial Note:

Arthur Hamilton Lee, Viscount Lee of Fareham (1868–1947), British diplomat, soldier and politician; for biographical notes, see [11019].
