I often weary of my diary, and at times when it should be of greatest
interest. It never gives a true picture of the day. So much is done that can-
not be recorded and so much work is accomplished by telephone of which there is
no record.
Lord Reading was the most important visitor of the day. We used the
motor again in order to get the fresh air and talk at the same time. In this
way we are undisturbed. Our talk largely concerned current matters at issue

been of much value to me, because I have become saturated with the British

whether it be Anglo Saxon or T<del/>ton. It does make a difference of course and

Norman Angell was another visitor. He talked of the new work I have
in hand, of the war and of its aftermath.
