St. Stephen's House,
London, S. W. 1.

25th November, 1931.

My own darling

I got a card from you last night and a letter this
morning. I am free for luncheon tomorrow, and will make no
engagement until I know what you are going to do. If you want
me to lunch, will you ring me up when you arrive in London?
(Victoria 7284).

I do hope Barnas will enjoy himself. Any word of the
other A.P.? Tell Alice that Circe expects her to help with her
party next Monday. I believe that party will be a failure, for
she has only just sent out invitations, having been hunting all
last week.

I dined at The Club last night - an enormous dinner -
the Archbishop, Edward Grey, Kipling, etc. To-day I have this
address at the Church House at half past five, and must hustle
back and dress for the dinner to Bennett, the Canadian Prime
Minister at 7.30. After that I am going to supper at Circeheim
with Ramsay and others. So I shall probably be very sleepy tomorrow.

I expect you to be ready without fail at 7.10 at Grosvenor
Street tomorrow, with your best bib and tucker. Ramsay says he
is more nervous about this dinner than any other engagement he
ever had. So am I.

Much love.
John
