She writes regarding a lecture, on Wellington, given by Philips which she had attended "I had thought of founding a Society called 'Friends of Richard Wellesley', of whom there seemed to me to be only three possible members, myself, Hugh Farmar, and the Vice-Chancellor of London University. I was sad to find at your lecture that… the membership might now have to be reduced to two!". She writes regarding her forthcoming biography of Wellesley, disagrees with much of what Philips said in his lecture, much on Wellesley's character and attitudes and concludes "I do see all of this does not come into a Wellington lecture, I just felt sad that you did not put Richard forward in the understanding way you talked about him to me last year.Please don't answer this, you probably won't read it but I had to write it !". Usual folds, some damage to blank margin.
