Letter from Leifchild Leif-Jones, Baron Rhayader (1862-1939), temperance advocate and politician, to L.T. Hobhouse (1864-1929), social philosopher and journalist, noting how he has sent Willett a copy of The Story of the Boers [narrated by their own leaders, by C.W. Van Der Hoogt], and describing his arrangement for visits to Manchester, Leigh and Carlisle.
He describes a meeting on the Boer War held at Terrington [North Yorkshire], where few knew much about the Transvaal, only one man voting against [Leifchild's] resolution as he was concerned about the Outlanders [Uitlanders]. Leif-Jones make reference to a further meeting at Malton with Lord Hawkesbury [Cecil Foljambe], politician, with prior reports from a canvasser, Miss Embelton, which suggest that the mood [in Malton] is apathetic, and condemns of the Daily News for its crusade against the Boers.
