Extent1 item
Date1882
DescriptionLetter written from Highbury, Birmingham dated 3 June. Chamberlain comments on a proposed National Club. Whilst he is not opposed to the idea he expresses doubts that such clubs are useful to the Liberal party, whose strength, he believes, lies in 'popular representative associations, the mass of whose members never go to clubs, and are never likely to'. He adds that he has not yet resigned his membership of a club as he plans to report (unnamed) individuals to the Club committee for circulating libels about his brothers.
