Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Thanks Robert for having arranged the altered subscription for the National Liberal Club [see 46/237]. Has also been thinking about [H.G.] Wells, having carefully re-read "The New Machiavelli"; thinks him 'cleverer than ever', but has 'never read a less defensible book'; there are things he would rather discuss with Robert than write 'which fall morally below anything [he knows]', though many of Wells's other books are 'wonderfully good'. Thinks no-one ever wrote 'so many books of auto-biography so varied' as Wells.
