The political correspondence relates largely to Welsh affairs, including Disestablishment, the Welsh Church Commission, education and the investiture of the Prince of Wales in 1911, as well as to the Irish Question and the First World War. There is correspondence and papers, 1924-1933, relating to the internal affairs of the Liberal Party, and correspondence, 1920-1935, between David Lloyd George and Ramsay MacDonald as Prime Minister.
