See her entry, and those of Robey and her husband, in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. With two folds. Addressed to ‘Geo Robey. Esq. C.B.E.’ and signed ‘Margaret Lloyd George.’ She gives details of a concert she is having at Downing Street the following month, ‘in aid of the Electrical Industries Association’, and has been asked by its committee to ‘invite your kindly assistance’. As Robey has ‘already helped so magnificently all sorts of Causes during the past five years in particular’ she almost hesitates to ask him, ‘buy your readiness to help me in times past encourages me to hope you will again help on this occasion’.
