42 Bessborough Gardens, Pimlico. - Has known G. C. Warr, one of the candidates for the position of secretary of the Cobden Club, very well since the beginning of Warr's studies at Cambridge; he is a 'man of great intellectual power, a thorough Liberal, and a most energetic and enlightened politician'; he has recently given a course of educational lectures in the north of England on 'the political institutions of the United States, and all who heard them speak of them in terms of the highest praise'. Can think of nobody better to be secretary of the Cobden Club.

Hotel de Blois, Blois. - His friend Sir Charles Dilke has nominated him for the position of secretary to the Cobden Club and, with Sir Louis Mallet's agreement, has suggested he write to Houghton, a member of the Committee, to request 'the favour of a personal interview'. Desires this all the more as his 'work has till recently lain principally in Cambridge, at Trinity College', and he is therefore not well known in London. Says when he would be available, and gives his address as 5 William St, 11 Bedford Row W.C.
