Written at House of Commons. Has received a letter from James Bryce MP complimenting him, on behalf of the Treasury bench, on his 'tact & judgment'. Has been highly praised for his speech in the House: 'I distinctly made a deep impression. You could see that the Tories felt quite depressed'. Is to write it up for the Guardian. 'I am frightfully done up. Suffered all the week from excruciating neuralgia - slept not one third of my time - altogether a very anxious week between my National Council amendment & L & N.W. Rly'. Sexton commented, 'By Jove you are getting on - you'll soon distance us'.
