Rendel to W. E. Gladstone,

Is looking forward to Gladstone's pamphlet for clear guidance; regrets that Harcourt failed to give the Liberal Party an opportunity of repudiating responsibility for the collective note to Greece; fears that the Rosebery episode has been demoralising and likens the Liberal Front Bench to the Concert of the Powers.

Letter from Lord Reay,

Sympathy with him in his bereavement; hopes that he would be able to attend the Lords for the second reading of the Education Bill; he was the only [sic] Welsh peer and he could speak with authority on the futility of the application of such a measure to Wales; Tom Ellis had made a deep impression in the Commons and Rendel would carry conviction by a simple statement of rural realities in Wales.

Letter from Miss Charlotte Knollys,

Princess of Wales was very interested in the account of the Womens' Hall of Residence at Aberystwyth and pleased at the College [sic] bearing her own name.

Letter from Lord Welby,

Asking his advice as to whether he should accept the chairmanship of a ship-building establishment at Newport, USA, at the mouth of the James River, which Huntington, the railway boss, was seeking to turn into an English company, a project favoured by Armstrong, who were going to permit two of their firm, Mr Watts and Col. Dyers, the head of the ordnance department, to join the board, who with Sir E. J. Reed would form the expert members.

Letter from J. D. Campbell,

Sir Robert Hart had replied to James Hart that the Ambassador was friendly to himself, the Customs and the English, and that it was therefore desirable to drop the consideration that the position was undesirable and help his Excellency; the appointment of themselves on the Ambassador's staff meant that the English element of the Customs was represented; concerning obtaining seats at St Paul's for Lady Hart and her daughter and invitations for the State Ball and garden party for Bruce Hart and wife and for Mrs James Hart.

Letter from Lord Cobham,

Agrees that Rendel's note [of reservation] in the report could not be taken in any sense of hostility to the report; believes the report reflected no great discredit to the Commission, but thinks that at least it could not do much harm, as might easily have been the case.

Letter from Lord Welby,

Mainly concerning the extent of the proposed involvement of Elswick with the American Dockyard Co., from which it emerges that Elswick would merely give technical assistance on payment.
