Scope and Content

Letter from C.P. Scott to L.T. Hobhouse (1864-1929), social philosopher and journalist, describing how the Transvaal Committee, on the model of the Jamaica Committee, was founded in London a month ago and composed mainly of Liberals, noting their soft approach to the matter and his inability to contribute at the present moment. Expresses frustration with [W.T.] Stead, newspaper editor and spiritualist. Scott also suggests that [John] Morley, politician and writer, would find it impossible to oust [Arthur] Balfour [from his Manchester East constituency], but could prevail against [Sir James] Fergusson [in Manchester North-East], and ends mentioning his wife's ill health.
