ABSTRACT
To Sir Reginald and Lady Talbot’s.1 He explained to me the history of the violent antagonism of the Morning Post to the whole house of Cecil. Lord Salisbury would not make Sir Algernon Borthwick a Peer! It was done at last on Queen Victoria’s own initiation,2 but Lady Bathurst3 still resents the refusal. Can one imagine anything so small. Meanwhile it does a great deal of harm, for womankind in general take their opinions from the Morning Post.
