Letter #87Morning
"

I am in rather better spirits this morning - thanks mainly to you. . . . I hope before then to have a further report from the 'negotiators'. Lansdowne’s speech last night gives one the impression that he is in an expectant attitude.

Asquith thanks Venetia for her support and mentions the current political and social situation.

Mentioned:Lady Scott • King George V • Lord Lansdowne • Lady Ottoline Morrell
