Enclose a copy of Minutes of our first Council meeting. Lady Stanley of Alderley prevented by her husband from joining us (dislikes publicity). She is disappointed, and will help privately. We should have Lady Augusta[Stanley]. Aunt Julia pleased we are not to imitate Cambridge in every particular. Advice to build (not adapt an old house), with view to large number, but to provide rooms for say 25 students to begin with. If we begin with 100 we should want another 100 the next year and another the third. Your liberal promise is an immense help. Ask people (with discretion) to be on general committee.
