19 Clarence Gate Gardens, N.W.1
Jan. 20 ’24

Dear Mr Chambers

Please excuse delay in replying to your letter of Dec 27, but I am only just back from America, & found it awaiting me.

I welcome the suggested Review; it is indeed sorely needed, & it is a reproach to us that we have nothing of the kind.

I will gladly be a member of the advisory panel.

I hope it will be possible to start publication soon.

Yrs sincerely
Caroline F. E. Spurgeon

[Added at the head by Chambers:]

Dear McKerrow.

Please add her to the advisory list, and keep this.

E.K.C. 21/i

Board of Education.—Encloses letters from some of those invited to join the advisory panel, and suggests an alteration to the prospectus.

Board of Education

Dear McKerrow,

Elton, Chapman, and Miss Morley agree to join our panel. I think you had better file and keep the letters I enclose. We are asking Gordon; are we not?

Elton’s letter partly concerns other matters, but he says

“I shall be happy to join your panel and do what I can, but could not write much, being deeply booked for some time ahead. The Review is much wanted and the idea excellent.”

I also send Bradley’s letter. Perhaps we can turn the wording of the Prospectus, when we print it off, so as to leave room for the names of those in like case. From Miss Spurgeon I have not heard yet.

Yrs sincerely
E. K. Chambers
