Scope and content

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Caroline is coming to Robert and Elizabeth in much better health; the change of air is just what she needs. Sympathises with Robert's 'electioneering experience', which is a 'living case of the widespread influence which has perverted this appeal to the country'. The government must now direct what 'after all, is its great majority to the question of the Lords'. Hears from George that Philipson and Cacciola are still 'pottering' [over the matter of Florence Trevelyan's will]. Glad Robert saw George before he started. 'Three cheers for the comet!' though he did not manage to see it; there is 'something very romantic about the history of the reappearances... of Halley's Comet' [actually the Great January or Daylight comet of 1910, at first confused with Halley's Comet].
