"I am very sorry that I have been unable to see you to-day. I am still hoping to arrange a meeting for next week. I am also very anxious to discuss with you the matter of the Irish question..."

"I have not received any letter from you on the 7th of May, and I cannot therefore understand your allusion to 'a letter written at a moment of anger.' ... I do not think that there is anything more that I can usefully say on the subject of the Northern Territory."
