Tuesday. / No you have been in / London town a long time. & haven't / told me - I heard of it from / Margaret last night - from / Margaret who sat by Mr. Eddy / & thought it must be Pamela's / husband. / So shaped all her conversation / to be sympathetic with him / on that subject. / Said to herself "I knew Pamela / would choose wisely, & she has." / Phil also to-day said / he should bring him - so doubtless / I shall see him - who seems / is a delightful fellow - / and I should love to see you / in your frock of splendour. / On Tuesday 24th. Georgie & / I are to dine at the American / Ambassador's, doubtless on / purpose to meet Mr. Eddy. I am / so sorry it clashes with your / invitation - for I love going to you. / but Wednesday the 8th. of June / I will keep solemnly. / meantime when will you come? / Sunday I must be out - I have / to go Hammersmith way to / see some drawings - early ones / of Rossetti & Millais - & / then I go to have tea with / Lady Rayleigh - so that is a / hopeless day - and the / Sunday after is so far away. / I work half the week / at Phil's house, where my / Sleeping King is - but on / Saturday I am here at lunch / and Monday too. / Yesterday Georgie came back / - much better - I have been / troubled & a little frightened / once - but she is better - & / I won't worry. / let me see you in the Queen's / coat - & the crown - why / hadn't you the crown? You lent / it to me but I am sure I / returned it / 2 queens in Avalon are wearing / it now. / Adieu, it was nice to hear from / you. / your affect. B-J.
Philip B-J's studio was at 4 Warwick Studios. Arthur in Avalon went to the St Paul's studio. It could be either of these that EB-J is referring to. See: EB-J letter to Mary Elcho July 30 1888 on PB-J 4 Warwick Studios notepaper.
