The Prime Minister and Venetia met in London as previously arranged in their correspondence.

In-Person Meeting
H.H. Asquith
Cheshire
HIS DAYStaying at Alderley Park, Cheshire
Venetia Stanley
Cheshire
HER DAYLikely at (or staying near) Alderley Edge/Cheshire, at the Stanley family place (“the Hale”/Alderley area), in the middle of the winter hunting routine.. Probable daytime activity: hunting (a regular ‘hunting day’ in Asquith’s teasing phrase), with associated social calls typical of a Cheshire hunting meet.. Not in London that day (best inference from the surrounding correspondence: Asquith discusses her as absent and frames Sundays as the London meeting-point when she comes up).
