My dear Mr. Studd.
We hear you are back, but did not see you yesterday at the Champs de Mars[5] - but we saw your picture[6] which we all liked and wished we could have told you so. Will you come to dinner next Friday at eight o'clock? We have asked Mr Frazer and Cushing & Mrs Morgan[7]. We do hope you will be able to.
Sincerely yours.
Beatrix Whistler
