Written at Ormond House. Much regrets William George cannot come on the holiday. Business matters. 'Ld Roberts' proclamation is another General Election move. They want to be able to say Ld.R. now considers the war to be so far over that he annexes the whole country. Nothing can now save us from a dissolution in October but (a) Serious complications over China or (b) One or two "regrettable occurrences" of some dimensions. Thirty trucks with supplies captured & burnt is not big enough although more serious than the papers will allow'. Will see William George at Caernarfon. 'Osmond retired. W.E. ought now to get it'.
