Immediate Source of Acquisition
Given by Miss Weston's niece, Phyllis M Cook (nee Blunt, Girton 1922-25) in 1969. Phillis Blunt's mother was Jane Weston, who was almost certainly Sarah Weston's sister. A letter from Phyllis Cook to Professor Bradbrook (Mistress of Girton) is filed with the papers. It explains that the reports were sent because they might be of interest to a women's college founded at a similar time.
