Letter from Lady Catherine Ashburnham to Rupert Gunnis

Asks RG to let her know when he will visit, because she has a standing appointment with George Barden on Tuesdays, although he can be put off if she knows in time. The Brigadier did not seem to like your 'poor Gerry'. The Stanhope collection sounds lovely. Dick [John Richard Bickersteth] hung pictures; they had to the two Frances and her grandson on the landing columns in place of the Poussins; Dick was enthusiastic about St Jude. Has had a tremendous letter from Anne Henderson about the picture. Must try and do eye exercises again, because the optics are deteriorating.
