Lord Hurst -

Your invitation could not have come at a better time. The whole event sounds far too good to miss and I would of course love to attend. It has been too long since I went hunting!

I would require lodgings for the night, as I do not as yet have an estate in the area(something which I hope to rectify soon!). I do hope this is well with you - I would not want to to overcrowd you.

Sincerely,
Lord E. Mountford-Miles of Gillingham.

My Lord Mountford-Miles,

I must admit that I heartily agree, the new season has taken far too long in turning, and now all are eager to go back into the field. I assure you that the mild winter and spring has seen the meadows at Bailston fill with all manner and variety of game. The first day of the season, I assure you, will be a most profitable and enjoyable one!

Lodgings for you, and any servants that you may require, will certainly be provided. My invitation is of course also extended to your delightful siblings, who I hope are also able to attend? I do so hope that whatever misunderstanding came between you has now been rectified and you will be able to enjoy the day as fast friends.

As I understand it, there is currently a property, suitable for a summer home, not too many miles from here known as Eden Hall, and I would be most happy to find you the particuluars of this estate should you wish.

Lord Tobias Hurst, Duke of Devon.

Lord Hurst,

I look forward to seeing what the meadows hide! I fear that both my aim and arm are rusty regarding the hunt; I shall do my best to put in some practice beforehand so I can astound you all with my skills!

My sisters are well, though I admit I do not know of the misunderstanding you speak of. My sisters have not expressed any grief on their part, either because of or concerning me. I do hope whatever they told you was not all too bad! I am now worried that I have done wrong by them, and I will of course try to rectify it before the hunt if they so choose to attend.

The estate sounds lovely, I should like to look into it. The name has taken me even before I set eyes on it!

My sincerest thanks,
Lord E. Mountford-Miles of Gillingham

Lord Mountford-Miles,

I am sure you are not as out as practise as you suggest. But I am sure there will be plenty of time for your arm to loose it's winter stiffness.

Perhaps then the misunderstanding which your sister spoke of then was an over exaggeration on her part. Such things are not uncommon in women of her age, as I am sure you are aware.

I shall send you the particulars of Eden Hall as soon as I am able.

Yours,
Lord Tobias Hurst
