The White House, College Green, Worcester - Congratulates Frazer; the Classical Tripos of 1878 is sadly reduced, supposes that apart from scholars and schoolmasters, James Lowther and R. C. Lehmann are the most prominent survivors, as Spring-Rice died young. James summarises his own life: 35 years a schoolmaster, served in the war, and is now an archdeacon, admits 'I'm not quite an ecclesiastic by nature'; his brother M. R. James joins him in his congratulations.

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Misses Elizabeth; wishes she were nearer, or could have stayed longer; sad not to hear [Julian's] voice any more. Thinks he has 'rather a remarkable memory' so hopes he will remember his grandparents; good that he is strong and healthy. The Government are in a 'great mess': the Tories would do anything to stop the Franchise Bill and have 'dragged the Speaker' into a 'regular plot'. Thinks the government will probably have to go to the country. It is a 'bitter disappointment' about women's suffrage, but the question affects 'the future of the Lib[eral] party'; thinks it is the 'beginning of the end' for this Government, though perhaps she is always pessimistic. She and Sir George have been quiet since Elizabeth left. Will leave a parcel at Gr[osvenor] Cr[escent] for Elizabeth. Has had a letter from Robert [in the East] and a 'wonderful card of the mountain range'. Hopes he will like Java; thinks he is a little tired of travelling. Told Shade [the gamekeeper] to send Elizabeth a pheasant.
