one from Archbishop TAFT asking
him to dine, and the other from the

accepted the archbishop's invitation.
and at the same time wrote to the
secretary, but put the letters into the
wrong envelopes.
After the dinner at Lambeth the
archbishop said to him: Mr.. M,
do you always answer your dinner in

Il do not understand, your grace.
