Letter from Joseph Chamberlain (Highbury, Moor Green Birmingham) to Winston Churchill on addressing a meeting at Oldham [Lancashire]. Chamberlain explains that he had a lot of meetings in the Birmingham district so would have to get back as soon as he could and discusses train times for his arrival and departure. In a postscript he hopes that Churchill's canvassing was being carefully managed, by volunteers if possible, explaining that although speeches were important, it was canvassing that brought in votes on the day.
