Has received an invitation from Algernon Percy and JH has accepted for MH and a few friends; JH has received a letter offering some lost spoons with JH's arms and crest. JH says this must be an attempt at a swindle as he has lost no such spoons, since they never existed. Urges some checking by MH. [Letter contains a note by MH asking someone to investigate on JH's behalf.]
