2, Cheyne Gardens, S.W. - Apologises for writing Bob 'argumentative letter, not a very good one' [14/204]. Restates his position in brief: thinks [Edward] Grey and [Herbert] Asquith secretly committing Britain years ago to support of France 'was very bad indeed', but that the German invasion of Belgium made it 'both just and necessary' to fight; the destruction of Louvain [Leuven] 'greatly increases [his] desire to prevent the Germans becoming the overlords of Western Europe'. Is not now going to Serbia, as the route against France is now dangerous, and another Balkan war is threatened, may go later if things improve.
Julian looks 'well and jolly'; envies children, as they think very little about the war, which is ''the shipwreck of civilisation'.
