Letter from John Morley to C.P. Scott

Letter from John Morley, Viscount Morley of Blackburn (1838-1923), politician and writer, stating his inclination to make a speech at Bangor or Caernarvon, and asking [L.T.] Hobhouse (1864-1929), social philosopher and journalist, and Scott to tabulate a list of the public misconceptions [over tension with the Transvaal], referring to a letter by [Joseph] Leese, politician, which contains a fact sheet, as such a summary may help persuade those who are undecided. He believes the position they have to challenge is that the key issue is the emancipation of the Outlanders [Uitlanders], and asks Scott to give a true account of the negotiations [between Britain and the Transvaal], and questions the purpose of the [Boer] war.
