Document Information Date: 1866-12-18 By: Henry Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon Citation: Diary Entry from the 4th Earl of Carnarvon (18 December 1866). Other formats: N/A Tuesday 18 December (Highclere) Went up to town by first train. Received Howe, Annand, and Macdonald, anti-confederates at the C.O. Howe managed his case with great skill and temper and impressed me much. He went away I think in good humour. If only the question is referred to the people of N. Scotia, not the Parliament, he is satisfied. It is an awkward question.
