I had a fine talk with Mr Lloyd George this morning. We are quite good friends. He is an attractive man with a lot of magnetism & with a winning expression in ‘his keen eyes—full of mettle—never afraid to act—full of audacity and courage—always ready—The way he went for Lord Northcliff was bold and one could not fail to admire his courage. Every one says that he is tricky—but it is hard not to like him. I like him. We get along fine and I gather much good and valuable information from him. He has lots of good sense and humour. I think you will agree that he is an acquaintance worth while for a fellow in my time of life.

What about your plans for the summer? It looks as if I am to be in Washington much of the summer. From present indications we will not leave here before sometime in June. The President will call Congress, and then go west on a speaking tour which will last about a month, I guess. So, I’ll not be in Washington much until about August perhaps September. If you could get a cottage somewhere in the vicinity of New York—along the sea-shore sounds like a good proposition—Now Mrs. Potter. It is hard for me to advise you from this end of the line. If anything new arises, I’ll cable you. I don’t believe you would like Blue Ridge Summit, I want you to be where you can have some congenial company, and the sea air, if possible. I hope something will turn up to bring us home sooner than indications now point. I am terribly home-sick for a sight of you and the boys—I am busy and it’s most interesting but I want to see my darling true love—
