Written at House of Commons. Has just had 'a prolonged interview' with the doctors. The Prince of Wales has driven over that morning to discuss the Investiture - 'very natural boy'. In the Cabinet meeting which followed he proposed a plan of campaign to fight the peers, and this was accepted. Is glad that he did not go to Bala.

Written at House of Commons. Has heard nothing from Bangor as yet. Is dining with Morley that evening. Believes that he made 'a deep impression' the previous day, and 'the general idea is that much good will ensue to the poor little Dutch kiddies'. His speech has been highly praised in the newspapers. Is to speak about the war the following night at the Queen's Hall.

Written at House of Commons. Has had lunch and an interesting chat with Sir Edward Grey who is in favour of D. Lloyd George's railway policy. This policy has been very well received. 'Winston [Churchill] is in a great state of excitement over my policy'. Family news. The Whips have informed him that the news from the Leeds election is not good. Reflects on Naylor's death - 'His humiliating defeat broke him poor chap. His vanity had elevated him to such a pinacle [sic] that the fall crushed him. Frankly, I felt a thrill of pity when I read the news of his end - in two lines in the Guardian. Why, his tea parties had a column'. His "cigar" speech & his speech after the Election taunting me with my £2,000 a year betrayed a vulgar & essentially mean mind - but he was a better sort than many of his patrons'.
