"You very kindly said I might bring Oliver with me on Monday but I’ve heard from him that he is already engaged that evening... I do hope Seely doesnt go to the War Office, dont you? It isnt a very glittering selection to choose from is it? Couldnt Simon go? I am trying to go to the House tomorrow to hear Excie’s vote of censure."

"I address you as one concerned with cabinet making. The Morning Post today suggests John Burns for war office. Would this do? Safe in hands of military advisors, easily kept in order, very popular with the army, quite harmless. That clears the way for Samuel to L.G.B. and Hobhouse to P.M.G and Seely to Duchy."
