Now look here Lord Grey [image: "Lord Grey" is encircled in red with sunburst rays emanating from it] is
to be painted for Baliol
and, I hear, my name has
been suggested as a chap
who might "put him into oil"
with a certain amount of
distinction, so if you feel
inclined you might say
a word for me. It is
a job I should enjoy.
Hope you don't mind me
pulling your string. I really
have not the habit.
I expect we may look
in at Elsfield one day when
our Florentine Ballet is
launched. We shall be
in Apple Tree all next week
won't you come and lunch
one day (any day)?

Our love to you and yours

Ever thine
