- Scope and Content:
- "My Dear Redgrave, I read your letter of the 27th […] with regret. Much as I feared from all […] you said and all I saw, a few weeks back, I was not prepared for what you now tell me and review your statement with sorrow = your faith in the skill of those to whose hands you have entrusted your case will, let us hope, prove to be well placed, and with God's help justify[?] it in a great success = The female students question made no sign the other evening = I should be unwillingly absent when - if even - the subject is debated. You, and you only, are my person to versitate it = for myself, I am an Honorary Retired member and - whatever - my sentiments - without power in any discussion, more especially any of a grave and delicate nature = Should the late suggestions of the President take effect, it will, I fear bring a great strain to bear upon the legislation of the R.A., in that particular, at least. Very Truly Yours, George T. Doo."
