Letter #354Time not recorded

. . . Do you remember that this week is the first anniversary of that dismal Curragh business . . . It is St Patricks Day, and I had an early call from John Redmond . . . the Assyrian has just produced a very racy memorandum on the subject of the restoration of the Chosen Race . . .

Asquith recalls the Curragh anniversary, mentions St Patrick's Day with Redmond, and Montagu's reaction to the Palestine memo.

Mentioned:John Redmond • Birrell • Sir Matthew Nathan • Edwin Montagu • Herbert Samuel • Sir John Simon • Reginald McKenna

"Dearest I was very glad to see you again this afternoon, but... I dont think you can realise what a very little way 3 hours 3 times a week goes... So much as I should like to see you every day it cant be done."

"Discussed my paper at length with Prime Minister, who arranged for War Council on Friday to consider various questions. He tells me Kitchener has given very good and reasonable orders to Ian Hamilton."
