Havant, May 17th.
Dear Howard,
The girls talk of having a croquet party on Thursday next. Will you join it? We shall be delighted to see you if you can come. Little Totty desires me to add, that you must play on her side, because then she will be sure to be one of the winners.
Ever yours most truly, ______
Accepting.

Dear ——,
