Scope and content
This box contains the diary for 1946-1947.
By now Storrs appears to have given up all hope of further employment and led a much less active life. He was frequently complaining about his health.
He continued to interest himself in the Palestine situation and occasionally reports conversations about it or comments on the news.
He kept touch with Arab opinion, seeking King Abdullah and King Faisal, and often met Arab diplomats and Albert Hourani.
Other people of note mentioned in this period are Lord Gowett, Louis Golding, Rab Butler, Arthur Koestler, Edward Gridd, Ivone Kirkpatrick, Lord Winster, Beecham, Leo Amery and Lord Alexander of Hillsborough.
