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

30th November, 1932

My own darling.

I got your letter this morning. It looks good weather,
and I do hope you will have a pleasant day at Eton, and that
Jimmy will win his match. I wish I could see the little boys.

I think the dinner last night was a very great success.
Ramsay appeared armed with a copy of one of his own books to present
to John. He and Baldwin had to leave shortly after nine
o'clock for a Cabinet meeting (the Cabinet is sitting almost continuously
just now), but the rest of us stayed on till eleven.
Edward Grey was in tremendous form, and I think everybody enjoyed
themselves.

[pencil note in margin: Dinner for Johnnie at the House of Commons]

Enid's luncheon was rather amusing - Margot, Violet
Bonham Carter, Lady Lavery, the Baroness d'Erlanger, Knebworth,
Bernsdorff and Abe Bailey. Margot was terribly affectionate.
I really enjoyed my talk with Violet, who is one of the most intelligent
of human beings, and speaks so warmly of you.

I am off to Manchester at 1.30, and get back tomorrow
morning. I will ring you up at Maudie's a little after ten o'clock.

Much love.

John
