HIS DAYAttended to government business. Received a letter from Lord Fisher explaining his absence from the Defence Committee due to illness. Likely met Venetia Stanley

HER DAYLikely in London (West End/Whitehall orbit), keeping social engagements and staying close enough for planned meetings with Asquith (drives, evening parties).. On/around this day she was probably writing/receiving letters and making arrangements for seeing Asquith; the correspondence suggests she was not out of town on a long visit.. Probably attending (or preparing to attend) a round of London social events/house-parties; Asquith expects only a ‘glimpse’ of her at Lady Ottoline Morrell’s around this time and is arranging a drive with her the next day.
