The nomination of County JPs for Flintshire, and the submission of a list to the Lord Chancellor.

Congratulations on success of John Herbert Lewis's maiden speech, ' a model one of terseness and vigour'.

The meeting of the Welsh Members and Mr Gladstone's letter - 'you would be surprised to know what strong feeling there is in Wales with regards to the action of Mr Gladstone, and indeed the action of the Welsh Members in trying to shield the scandalous breach of faith with Wales.'

Congratulations to John Herbert Lewis and the three Welsh Members on the 'splendid stand' they have made. Lord Rosebery would not have made his declaration at Birmingham [that the government would not go to the country until Welsh Disestablishment had been secured] without this stand. Is surprised at the attitude of Y Goleuad. There is much truth in Gladstone's dismissal of the Welsh as 'sheeplike'. '...There is no doubt the country is rapidly being educated as to the need of pressing the demands of Wales upon the Govt'.
