| Description | "Invitation to dine at Croydon." (Dated at Green Lettice Lane. Presumably passed on to M. R. Boulton.) Dear Sir, I hope you will do me the favor to bring Miss Boulton and Miss Keene to dine with me at C. Lodge tomorrow.

Square party, but I must insist upon your coming to spend the day, for reasons (which I will explain when we meet) in addition to the pleasure of your company.
