Tibberton Court Gloucester Dear Mr. Scott, I am sending you a copy of my new book on “The Diplomatic History of the War” which I hope you will accept from me. I do not expect it will be very well received, for although I do not express my views very strongly in them, still it is quite clear what I am driving at, and I think I have a good deal of evidence for my case. As far as I am aware, I have got every document, communication, Press correspondence, etc., relating to the negotiations preceding the outbreak of war in chronological order. Thank you for promising to send me some letters as your Special Correspondent in Russia. I shall be leaving about the 20th, and I propose to travel via Christiania, Stockholm and Finland to St. Petersburg. There I shall get in touch with all the people that I know and shall decide what area of the war to go to. If you know of anyone in St. Petersburg whom I should call on, I shall be very glad of any other introductions. I think that after a brief investigation of what is going on in Poland, I shall go straight down to the Caucasus, as I know that country well, and could describe the state of feeling there among the non-Russian nationalities, and the prospects of the Russian campaign in Armenia. I have been on those frontier posts which the Russians have recently captured, and know them intimately. I only hope the military authorities will not be so severe there as they are in western Europe. I shall be here on and off now till I leave, (ms. addition:) so could you send the letters to me at the above address as soon as is convenient. Yours sincerely, M. Philips Price.
