Dear Sir,

In going through the books of my late Father's library recently {1} and coming across the enclosed, I thought some parts of this collection might be of interest to you. Should this be so, would you please keep the whole, taking from it any parts of special interest.

This collection was made by my Grandfather, who I believe was a Clerk in the College Kitchens in about the '60's or '70's of the last century. He lived all his working life in Cambridge, hence his local as well as College interest.

The signatures "Waldegrave" and "A. P. Humphrey" would have reference to Birley shooting; as the "author" was a member of the first English VIII to compete in an international; in Belgium. Other signatures will mostly be familiar to you.

Yours faithfully,
H. F. F. Coggin.

The Librarian, Trinity Coll., Cambridge.

87 Clements Inn | W.C

Dear Mrs P

1) In reference to th trustee to cover our liability I saw Mr Petre yest[erda]y of Messrs Blount Lynch & Petre 48 Albemarle Street & ascertained tht he would be will[in]g to act as trustee & to draw up the deed. Do you agree to his appointment?

2). The Womans Press a/c at the present time is in my name and is operated on by my signature. {1} I propose at an early date to pay out of it a cheque to cover the liability of th Womans Press to Vote† for Women for papers already received & then to hand over the balance of the money to you or to someone you appoint & then to close the a/c. {1} Will you please let me know to whom I am to hand over th balance.

3) With regard to the statement about separation which is to appear in Votes for Women this week, a suggestion was made to me by the editorial staff tht following the usual course w regard to important articles etc, advanced proofs should be sent to the press. This I refused to do. It wd be of course contrary to our agreement that th statement was first to be published in Votes for Women. I am sure you will agree w me that this implies that the statement should not be made public anywhere else until after it has appeared in our paper.
