Scope and Content

Letter from C.P. Scott to L.T. Hobhouse (1864-1929), social philosopher and journalist, relating to an [unknown] piece from [John] Morley, politician and writer, of which Scott approved. He asks Hobhouse to examine the material from Morley before bringing it to a meeting later that day. A postscript includes discussion of diplomatic exchanges between the [British] government and the Transvaal, and Scott's intention to offer Morley assistance. He fears the Boers may make the first move against Britain, and wants Hobhouse to assist him in drafting a telegram to [William?] Schreiner, Prime Minister of Cape Colony, expressing their strong feelings on the matter.
