Summary
Repeating an invitation to come to lunch "before October is old", and promising to invite "two or three clever people to amuse you & Miss Nevill - not Rads or philosophical socialists- like our nice & amiable friend, Herbert Trench, the poet"; mentions dining with Lady and Sir Alfred Turner, the publication of Sir Alfred's autobiography, and her enjoyment of Lady Nevill's most recent memoir (probably her: My own times. London : Methuen, 1912).
