Witness Observations
Cynthia Asquith
"Caught one o’clock train to Egham for Clonboy. Found large pile of letters... At last I had a long letter from Mamma... I had an acute attack of misery and cried bitterly, but—oddly enough—it was about Yvo."
Margot Asquith
"Sir Ed. Carson is bidding for Leadership... Lansdowne lunched with us, and told me that Carson and Milner had shocked him very much..."
Lord Riddell
"Robertson Nicoll and I went with L. G. to Conway to hear his speech. Very effective. On the way back much talk of parsons and sermons."
