Additional Details



". . . I am certainly inserting a passage at once in Volume III to cover the important point you mention. I am obliged to you for drawing my attention to it. Pray convey my thanks to His Royal Highness for his kind message. My thoughts are so often with him in these very strained and difficult times for him and for Belgium. As you will have seen I have had to curtail my stay in Medeira in view of the General Election here. Polling Day has been fixed for February 23 and so you can imagine we shall be much occupied for the coming weeks . . ."
