G. O. Trevelyan

"I had the most interesting day yesterday. First, I received the most charming letter from Mrs. Asquith, and then, to my great surprise, your telegram reached me. I am so grieved to hear of the inconvenience caused by the leakage... I have arranged to be at home on the 4th of July, and will be very pleased if you and Mrs. Balfour will come and dine with me then."

AJ
A. J. Balfour

"I am much obliged for your letter. I shall be at Carlton Gardens on Monday, and I will expect you at 11."

AB
A. Bonar Law

"I am sure you will not be sorry to get out of London for a time, though I regret that your departure coincides with mine. I am off to Scotland on Saturday... I have been very busy lately with work, and I am afraid I have not had much time for anything else."
