Summary
Informing him that she has had a "thoroughly bad time with nervous racketing of the heart" and that H.G. Wells came down to convalesce after a bad cold, "so we bought a turkey, and in between eating it went to the movies, and forgot the world as much as possible"; mentioning that Nigel and A.A.R. cannot have lunch with them but "will tea any day except Thursdays and Saturdays", and proposing that they go next Friday.
