DEAREST ELSIE,
I am going to stay another week as Edith can't have me yet. George was leaving to-day, as he has got to be at Plymouth for a regatta somewhere, but he has put off going till to-morrow because of the weather.
I am enjoying myself immensely. I have got to like Godfrey Mellor very much. I went for a long walk with him one afternoon. When one gets him quite alone like that he talks quite a lot and is delightful.
Mrs Carrington-Smith is going to insist on divorce.
I am going to the Shamiers' on the 1st of October. I told you they have been lent a lodge in Scotland on the coast.
Yours etc.,
G.
