Lord Cave sends me a civil letter of thanks for the Charge, which, he says, he has read 'with much assent and real enjoyment and (he hopes) profit'. But he does not go with me over the Enabling Act.

"Some day, when we meet, you must tell me what you mean by revising and restating the official estimates of morality (p. 125). The sentence interests me, and I would like you to work it out".

Well, what do I mean? The question is a fair one, and ought to be fairly answered.

Lord Durham and his brother D'Arcy came to lunch, and spent the afternoon here. He said that he had never been to the Castle before, and seemed surprised at its beauty and interest. He was much struck by the Park.

Dr Jacks, the Editor of the Hibbert Journal, writes to invite me to contribute an article "on the general lines of your Quo tendimus? dealing with the tendency to establish the kingdom by methods of mass–production"; and Gwynne, the Editor of the Morning Post, writes to ask for an article on 'Patronage'.

Mrs Spooner writes enthusiastically about 'Quo tendimus?' and incidentally says that 'Ralph has hammered my points in, in the Morning Post'.
