It was in the February of 1922 that Kerr resigned as Private Secretary to Lloyd George, it was in that role that he had been largely responsible for the preface of the Treaty of Versailles. His resignation was to enable him to learn more of Christian Science and to that effect he sailed for America in March 1922; the entries in this notebook largely date from this period.
