Summary
Thanking her for the roses; hoping she will be in town the following week and inviting her to lunch any day; remarking that the following week she must hang about waiting for George Cukor and is therefore unable to accept an invitation; mentioning that she goes to Renishaw on the 21st and thence to recite Façade at the York Festival. Discussing how much she and Kenneth mean to her and her poetry, remarking that she is sure she would not have been made a Dame without his influence; thanking them and noting that it is a remarkable put down to the Spectator and New Statesman (who had run terrible reviews of Sitwell).
