Summary
Thanking him for "...the further Edition of the beautiful George V Prayer Book. It is good of you to send me these interesting memorial books;" asking if they will see him again there or in London; adding "You tempted us by asking us to cross the Atlantic. I think we might yield to temptation, but I should like to see you about it, if you really mean it? I have to be in London next week : I go up on Tuesday for the Parliament Bill - might we come and see you?"
