MARY ADELAIDE

(mother of 'Darling Daisy', [1861-1938, Countess of Warwick, mistress of Edward VII] by her first marriage), sending her a line to say May and I will be with you by 2 o'c on Friday... asking if she proposes driving me down in a brougham or shelburne? For if the latter perhaps May might accompany us. In case you prefer the brougham May can be called for at 3... by a friend & driven down to Stepney, but will you let me know how far it is and if the horses can pick up somewhere near your house, or Mr Holland's place. I mean to put on my dowdiest attire. In haste..., 3 sides 8vo., White Lodge, Richmond Park, 9th March
