2, Cheyne Gardens; addressed to Bessie at La Fortezza, Aulla, Lunigiana. - George came to London last night to vote and has already left again, so Janet is answering Bessie's question at his request: the editor of the "Westminster [Gazette]" is J. A. Spender; gives his address. The news [about the general election] is 'simply stupendous'; hopes 'that Alfred [Lyttelton?] and Joe [Chamberlain?] go too'. Their own election was today; is going to hear the poll read out this evening. Life is 'simply breathless in this grimy old place' at the moment. Saw Bessie's letter to Caroline about the Christmas festivities, and wishes she could have been there; sends love to Lina [Waterfield] 'if she hasn't quite forgotten [her]'.
