| Thanks her for letting him see 'the interesting passage' from HS' letter. Reports that in looking through the old records [of the Cambridge Charity Organisation Society] he has felt 'more than ever how fortunate [they] were in having his [HS'] guiding influence at the very formation of the Society'. Reports that HS was Vice-Chairman in 1880, 1881 and 1882, and a member of the Executive Committee in 1883, on the General Committee during 1884 and 1885. He was Vice-Chairman again in 1886, 1887, 1888 and 1889, and the year 1890 'is the only one in which his name is entirely absent' [from the reports of the Society]. Adds that in 1891, 1892 and 1893 he appears on the General Committee, and from 1894 until the end of his life he was the Chairman. Thanks her for returning the minute book, which he had sent to her. |
