Letter #281Time not recorded
"

Masterman came to see me this morning & we had a rather disagreeable interview. . . . Another personal matter which rather worries me is the growing friction between Winston & Fisher.

Asquith deals with Masterman's resignation, Macnamara's disappointment, friction between Churchill and Fisher, and Samuel's Palestine memo.

Mentioned:Masterman • Lloyd George • Macnamara • Edwin Montagu • Ure • Winston Churchill • Fisher • Kitchener • Sir John Simon • Maud Cunard • Herbert Samuel
