The Treasury will select the Counsel in the Albion prosecution. Cannot address A. J. Williams's constituents as all autumn and winter engagements have been arranged. Recognizes that A. J.

Lord Kensington, St Brides, Little Haven,

Will remember the claims of Mrs Roberts's daughter when elections to the Ashford School take place. Will attend the function at Cardiff on 17 January but cannot accept A. J. Williams's offer of hospitality. How sad to hear of Sin ...d's death.

Sir John Rhys, Jesus College, Oxford,

W. H. Wyndham-Quin, Penarth,

Is pleased A. J. Williams never used the words attributed to him by the Western Mail in his Tonyrefail speech. Is anxious for the conduct of the election to be 'harmonious' and devoid of 'acrimony'. Will spare no effort to achieve this.

Sidney Webb, 41 Grosvenor Road,

Is awaiting the arrival of A. J. Williams's manuscript. Would like to read A. J. Williams's 'story' and his views on Socialism.

Thomas Burt, House of Commons,

Totally agrees with A. J. Williams's view of a 'necessarily evil effect of an arrangement between employers and workmen under the Compensation Act'. Mutual insurance schemes among the coal owners are being arranged. Admires A. J. Williams's work for the National Liberal Club.
