Documents to be produced by Bride & Bridegroom, Nadejda (1896-1963, daughter of Grand Duke Mikhail Mikhailovich of Russia), and the writer's son George (1892-1938, from 1921 2nd Marquess of Milford Haven), 2. Revd. Horan's participation (I gave the wrong name). The nominal fortnight's residence at St. James's Palace we can arrange for.
