the wedding – We think [underlined] Richard Bates will
be here but have no further news –
but think you should phone
Mrs Allen or drop her a line

might not be possible for you to go
or at least not easy – but if it
is the week ending 26th (after
the wedding you might do so
if you feel inclined – but you
should give her a definite
answer whether by letter or
