THE AVENUE,
76, FULHAM ROAD.

March 19. 89.

Dear Mr Symons -

I am sorry I can't attend the meeting on Sunday next, as I shall be out of town on that [p. 2] day. I really have no suggestions to make as to invitations^[3], I should say The Committee of management had better be trusted to use their own discretion

Yours truly

Alfred Gilbert
