[Cover letter.—Memorandum.]
In: Cort van der Linden. De visie van een groot staatsman. Door C.W. de Vries.
’s-Gravenhage, Martinus Nijhoff 1952 (Zaltbommel, Van de Garde & Co), pp. 35–39.
Dated: ’s-Gravenhage, January 13, 1908.

The cover letter is addressed to Queen Wilhelmina. It was sent with a memorandum “concerning the ministerial crisis that arose as a result of the Second Chamber of the States General’s rejection on December 21, 1907, of the bill settling chapter VIII of the national budget for the year 1908.” Kuyper wrote this memorandum at the queen’s request after he had expressed a verbal opinion to her about the cabinet crisis that took place on December 24, 1907, when the left-wing De Meester cabinet offered to submit its resignation.

The letter and the memorandum bear the same date. They are included as supplements 4 and 5 of the valedictory lecture that Prof. C.W. de Vries (1882–1967) delivered on October 16, 1952, at the Nederlandse Economische Hogeschool in Rotterdam.
