My Dear Miss du Maurier,
The good news which dear Arthur sent us today makes me wish very much to send you a word of affectionate greeting. You will find a place ready for you in all our hearts; and if you can come, as he and we hope you will, to stay with us, we shall soon learn to know and love one another.
We are very happy in the happiness of our beloved son, and in the hopes of gaining so dear a daughter.
My husband sends his kindest love with mine.
Mary Llewelyn Davies
