Letter #94Time not recorded
"

. . . Jack Tennant's dinner last night was a farewell to the S. Buxtons: it was not a lively affair . . . This morning . . . I had one from Genl Paget. He has had a row with the Court & tendered his resignation. . . . The Assyrian reports that Northcliffe . . . has come back in a state of panic.

Asquith gossips about press blackguardism, a dinner party, and mentions Gen. Paget's resignation threat and Northcliffe's panic about Ulster.

Mentioned:Sir H. Tree • Diana [Manners/Wyndham?] • Sydney Buxton • Gen. Paget • Percy Illingworth • Lloyd George • Edwin Montagu • Lord Northcliffe • The Master • Winston Churchill
