Scope and Content Written from the Goring Hotel [London] and [the Orient Express train to Greece], just after John and Hilda’s wedding. About their luggage, giving their addresses (Hotel Majestic, Athens and Hotel Majestic, Salonika [Thessaloníki]), hoping everyone had enjoyed the wedding and that they got home safely, and saying how nice he thought it was. Also telling Herbert that they had dined at Claridges (and were the only ones there); asking him to write to Pat [Shackleton] at George’s and find out how much John owed him, to let him know how “the old man” was, to give Dickie [Mabel Dickinson] his love and “tell her to be good”, and to give Will his love and a golf club. Undated, but annotated [in a later hand] as “September 1928”.
