It was a real delight to get your little letter written on the eve of your journey, but it is sad to think how long it will be before I see you again. I am pleased that you liked my speech on J.C. . . . The inquest on poor Denis Anson went off very well . . .

Asquith mentions the Anson inquest, a dinner at the Reform Club, and Stamfordham's visit regarding Ulster.
