Autograph Letter Signed to Mr Lloyd Morris
saying that he cannot possibly manage to be in Glasgow on Sunday first. And I have just wired you to that effect. This election in Kincardineshire has completely upset all my arrangements. I have to be in my own country on the 2nd of May, & I could come to you on the 3rd if that would suit. Just at present I am hard pressed in all direction & I fear must have put you to some inconvenience. I am so sorry..., 2 sides 8vo., Dover House, Whitehall headed paper, 16th April
