Letter #91Time not recorded
"

I have been assailed since I arrived by a succession of small & middle-sized worries. Edward Grey’s eyes are not satisfactory . . . Then poor Mrs Birrell has had some fresh sort of attack . . . Finally we have a very serious strike going on at Woolwich . . .

Asquith writes from the War Office about a wet Sunday, worries over Grey's eyes and Mrs. Birrell's health, and a strike at Woolwich.
