A.J. Williams Papers,

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. Believes Socialism is 'a rough name for a certain set of principles of social development'. Is at present completing a work called Industrial Democracy together with his wife.

C. P. Scott, Manchester,

The 'master evil' of political life is 'the enormous & I fear increasing power of wealth'. The Liberal Party should strive to be independent of it. Suggests desirable reforms in the electoral system. Is impressed by the 'democratic spirit' of the ILP. Rich Liberal MPs should 'pay their own way'. The people 'must really care about their politics'.

C. P. Scott, Manchester,

Has been unable to think of anyone suitable to take over the paper. South Wales is in need of 'a strong Liberal paper'. The Manchester Guardian cannot reach south Wales in time.

W. H. Wyndham-Quin, Penllyn Castle, Cowbridge,

Thanks for letter giving the reasons for A. J. Williams's absence from the two banquets. His presence would have appeared to indicate his approval of the Boer War. Would be pleased to visit Coed-y-Mwstwr. See A 2/8 for A. J. Williams's letter.

Francis W. Hirst, 1 Mitre Court Buildings,

Is travelling to Ostend. Is pleased Mrs Williams has recovered, and that Eliot Crawshay Williams is to enter politics. He should work on a provincial newspaper as an apprenticeship. His Persian experience is of much interest.

Donald Murray, National Liberal Club,

Will attempt to ensure Eliot Crawshay Williams's name appears on the toast list. Eliot Crawshay Williams will play an important part in the forthcoming election, which is sure to result in 'the triumph of Liberalism'.

H. H. Asquith, Wallingford,

Is not connected with the award of honours, but will testify to the services A. J. Williams has rendered to the Liberal Party. Photocopy.
