'My Darling Maud,/ I have just received you Mother's telegram - What does it mean? Why are you not coming tomorrow night? Are you ill? It is really a little too much to be played about with in this manner - To get up a party & to be told that you may come then to hear that you may not then again you may & finally to be put off by wire at the last moment - I shall send Ruth round to see you tomorrow morning & if by any chance you are able to come to get you to do so. I am most bitterly disappointed feel the rudeness of the whole thing most keenly & I am sure you do too. You don't know what is when one has been looking forward to a thing as I have to tomorrow to have it suddenly snatched away to gratify someone else's
caprice. Shall I see you at Miss Innes' at 5 today? or tomorrow?/ With devoted love/ I am for ever yours/ Lennie'
