1914 – August 11th (Tuesday)

Col. Keyworth* got up a meeting in the village on the “Underlying Causes of the present War and our Duty to our Motherland” – and I had to speak – my first time on a public platform. I did not like it, but it went all right. We are off to London to-morrow to see if I can’t get something out of the War Office or the India Office – it is sickening to be out of it all.

* Keyworth was Daisie’s maiden name. I am unsure as to the actual relation here.
