| Description | Letter written from Highbury, Birmingham dated 20 November and marked 'Private'. Chamberlain writes that the Liverpool leaders have thrown away a 'remarkable opportunity' [probably a reference to the possible candidature of Captain O'Shea]. He wishes Russell [1834-1920, first Baron Russell of Liverpool, newspaper editor and proprietor] well with his candidature and predicts that they will have a 'hard fight' in some divisions. |
