Letter #59Morning
"

The dinner for Violet's birthday was quite a success . . . I had a busy day yesterday, and am rapidly becoming accustomed to my 'double life'. I am going to write to-day to Anthony Henley to offer him my job.

Asquith thanks Venetia for her letters, describes Violet's birthday dinner, and discusses his work at the War Office including appointing a secretary.

Mentioned:Violet Asquith • Elizabeth Asquith • The Morrells • The Ponsonbys • Anthony Henley • Creedy • Masterton Smith • Lloyd George
