Witness Observations
"I met Fisher in Bongy's room. ... Ld F. As badly as they can: 30,000 casualties in the Dardanelles... We dined at Ava Astor's. Evan Charteris quite angry with me because I was against the East End and other riots..."
"Long talk with Kitchener, who began by saying, 'I suppose you have come to put me through my weekly cross-examination.' ... On the question of whether the Press should urge America to take part in the war, he answered in the negative."
"Ceaseless, careless, relentless rain. ... Went up to London... Sargent, Mr Balfour and Mary H. came to dinner. Sargent extraordinarily inarticulate... We didn't go to bed until nearly one."
