Saturday, December 20th, 1913.

Balfour was down to prayers, in which he joined with evident devoutness. After breakfast I took him across to the Castle, where the philosophers were to hold their meeting: then I presided at a Chapter meeting, which filled the time until lunch. Tucker & Nickson came to lunch. Arthur talked very interestingly. I accompanied him to the station, &, as the train was late, had some talk with him.

I attended meeting of the Sherburn Trustees. Mr Assistant–Commissioner Kaye attended, and we had a long discussion of the suggested re–arrangements of the Charity. We insisted on the two main points (α) the retention of the clerical Head: (β) the retention of the in–between.
