All I ask is that you will say to the Press, if they ask you how you got the ticket, that it was given you by a friendly M.P. mention no name. I hope you will be successful. I have tried to get another ticket but without success. I would suggest that you choose to do this thing some woman of gentle and refined appearance as well as intrepepidity of spirit as such would receive more favour in the eyes of His Majesty. Why not your sweet self?'
