Dear Mrs Solly
2
3 I’m afraid I can’t make any promise about speaking. My health is
4so uncertain now, & my breath so short for speaking. I should be very
5glad to be in town when the meeting took place, just to see the women
6who are interested in the matter. About how many members have we, I
7wonder?
8
9 I send my subscription 1/- which I quite forgot.
10
11 Mrs Macfayden article ^in the ?Month^ I thought most exceptional in its
12excellence.
13
14 I shall be down with my husband about the 21st & will let you know
15where we are staying. I fancy it will be the Royal in Plein Street.
16Have you read a most splendid thing called "Woman, a few shrieks" by a
17Miss Smedley. The humour is grand.
18
19 Good bye. I’m looking forward so much to seeing you.
