Scope and Contents

Thank you for your card of information and introduction. Have sent Kate [niece] to Dusseldorf for the summer months. Wish you could see the point at which she has arrived in teaching; she is developing talent above average. Question of petitioning parliament to introduce a provision in the Oxford University Bill devoted to the Higher Education of Women in a general way and when the Cambridge Bill is introduced for Girton especially. Supporting nomination of Miss Welsh as assistant lecturer [?]. Miss Bernard not pleased with Miss [Louisa] Lumsden; she thought her repulsive; "I felt thankful she did not live here" (Miss B.). Emily Davies is friendly with me; am I suspicious to say "What does it mean?".
