- Scope and Content:
- Powell writes from Clapham Rise and addresses the letter to Leslie at Pine Apple Place, Edgware Road, London. He reports on his recent "Ramble through Belgium" and is sorry to have missed an invitation from Leslie to dine with him. He offers to attend another dinner to make "the best amends." He wants to see how Leslie is coming along with his "Coronation Picture, having met with two of your Lady Sitters at Tunbridge Wells last week." Peter closes with a rather cryptic postscript about a decision being made about a Jane Gamble. He is concerned about her leaving her home (?), saying that her parents will never recover from it.
