I had a long interview after we parted yesterday with my two colleagues—à trois. It was interesting & at moments rather dramatic.

Asquith mentions a long interview with Lloyd George and Churchill about naval estimates and cabinet discussions.

HER DAYLikely in London, moving in the usual political-society round and in contact with Asquith (she appears to have seen him in person very recently—possibly the same day or the day before).. Probably receiving/reading Asquith’s letter and, as was common at this stage of their friendship, either planning a meeting or corresponding back if she could not see him.
