Enclosing a notice of objection to William's vote (not present); suffering from rheumatism; railway strike, has written to Lloyd George urging him and Asquith to take over management of the railways by Royal Proclamation on the grounds of 70 years mismanagement, granting an amnesty to all strikers except for acts of violence, agreeing to their demands for one year while instituting an enquiry into reorganisation of the system first for the benefit of the public and the railway workers and lastly the shareholders, common knowledge that the workers grievances genuine, and cost of extra wages will be saved in safety, economy and public convenience; hopes for acknowledgement of letter soon; hopes William will enquire into the management of his Sanatorium and similar institutions.
About the drought and Poulton's visit. His alpine garden. Comments on his eczema "which has now developed into acute rheumatic gout in right shoulder and both hands, which renders the complex muscle motions used in dressing and undressing a succession of acute and often very painful twinges. By careful dieting it is getting slowly better.".
ARW has read CR's paper on British plants and the glacial period and discusses that subject, asking CR to read ARW's description of Flora of the Azores in Island Life again, and noting the argument about species which have been so derived since the glacial period. Temperature is mentioned as one of many factors; ARW notes that many species could have lived since the Pliocene. ARW suffers from eczema and rheumatism and cannot leave home.
