Agrees with Crewe that if Jameson assumes party leadership there will be greater unity among the British. Feels that Botha is preferable to Merriman as Premier. Agrees that Gladstone should be treated in a friendly way and given every opportunity to know the true feelings of the British in South Africa. Long hopes that in the elections, the Liberal Government majority will be weakened.
Admits to Crewe that a Party Organiser should be appointed for Long's party. Long considers it a pity that Jameson accepted the honour refused by Botha. Long admires Botha's struggle against adversities. Compliments Crewe on his education scheme and hopes Crewe's health will improve.
Long has studied the history of the Bloemfontein Convention and concludes that the idea of federation was abandoned because it would have left the Central Government with no authority.
