EARL JELLICOE.
TRIP TO MADEIRA. "NEVER BE STRONG AGAIN." [from ovr own correspondent.] LONDON, Feb. 2. Sir Thomas Wilford received a letter from Earl Jellicoe, dated January 21, in which the writer said: "I have been np at noon now several times, and I leave for Southampton to-day and for Madeira with my wife and a nurse to-morrow. The doctor's idea is that sunshine will help me>, but they tell me I .shall never be strong again. But I hope that I shall some day be fit and able to play you another round of golf!"
Lord Jellicoe, who is in his 73rd year, has had an exceedingly busy life since he returned from New Zealand in 1925, and his services as speaker have ever been in great request—indeed, he has been as much in demand as the Prince of Wales. There have been days when Lord Jellicoe has made as many as seven or eightspeeches on as many differing subjects. On more than one. occasion Lord Jellicoe has said that he would like to return to New Zealand to spend the remainder of his days, but he knew that he could not do so. , Tho London residence of Lord and Lady Jellicoe, in Princes Gate, has been let to the Argentine Ambassador. St. Lawrence Hall, Yentnor, Isle of Wight, is now their only home.
