((Sarah) Emily, 1830-1921, Feminist and Suffragist)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed in full to Miss Vernon
thanking her for "all the trouble you are taking about the meeting. I was very glad to hear of the Soirée proposal. Miss Gaskell will have told you that Lord Lyttelton cannot take the Chair, & that I do not know of any other possible Lord. There is certainly none that we could ask to be Chairman, but we will keep a look out & persuade any one we can find to attend the meeting.

My impression is that the real effectiveness of a meeting often depends more on the energetic & judicious preparatory work, such as you are giving, & on its being well followed up afterwards, than on anything that the speakers can say or do ..." with a postscript that "The Bishop talked about Varlane (?) College in America, in reference to our College. It is an entirely different kind of thing. Mr Scott, the Editor of the Manchester Guardian, has paid a visit to the College & is prepared to write it up ...", Hitchin College, headed paper, 7th February no year but
