Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Thanks Robert for his account of the 'lifelike, and significant, account of the Kingsway meeting'; this general election is 'the most novel, and perhaps the most pregnant and important election that ever took place in any Parliamentarily governed country'; it was brought about in a 'most singular' manner, and believes that everything turns on Lloyd George being 'curiously suited' to the task of ending the war, but 'absolutely unsuited - morally, intellectually, and by training' to 'even beginning to set the world, and the nation, to rights'. Very glad to be out of politics. Will vote for Jim Butler at Cambridge, as there is 'no contest' here, and four candidates at Wansbeck; best thing he can do is 'not offer any advice in the matter'.
