| Description | This letter refers to Lodge's views concerning international politics and an invitation to speak about the subject at a public meeting which may have come from Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury. Lodge notes that he had written to his brother, Sir Richard Lodge (1855-1936) a Professor of History, and includes a long account of his brother's views on the unstable situation in Macedonia caused by uprisings against the Ottoman Empire. Remarking that 'inaction is so painful', Lodge admits his reluctance to 'mix myself up in everything' and declines to speak at a meeting concerning the international situation. He concludes his letter with comments about the British occupation of India. |
