Letter from J. Herbert Lewis,

Explains his change to a more difficult and expensive constituency as an effort to placate the Labour people in the county who threatened the unity of the party, but who were perfectly prepared to accept his candidature; states his opposition to the Bangor resolutions which would exclude religious instruction from the Intermediate schools; believes it would be imprudent for the Liberal Party to commit itself to a secular policy; believes Bangor resolutions to have been inspired by Beria Evans, but he could not himself support this advanced line and had declined to support Goddard's amendment in the debate on the Education Bill.

Letter from Lord Brougham and Vaux,

Reference to the free trade controversy, with strictures on the opponents of Chamberlain, the Radicals and the Chatsworth toadies, who would have been prepared to condemn free trade if proposed by the Duke of Devonshire.

Letter from Lord Brougham and Vaux,

Asking if it was worth contradicting reports in the press that King Edward VII intended visiting the Château de Thorenc at Cannes; reference also to new electric trams recently introduced to Cannes.

Letter from J. Brunel,

Congratulates him on his peerage, but differs with him entirely on the Establishment question; deplores the new political economy practised by the Liberal Party, completely different from the free trade doctrines he had learnt from his uncle, Sir Benjamin Hawes.

Letter from J. Bryce,

Discussing a proposed visit; reference to election prospects; believing that Wales was safe, Scotland not generally encouraging, though Aberdeen was probably all right.

Letter from J. Bryce,

Thanking him for letter of congratulations on his appointment [as under-secretary of State for foreign affairs].
