Dear Mrs. Curtin,
Thank you so much for the very interesting lecture you gave us yesterday. My only regret was that there was such a small attendance, but I know you realized how full of *** *** people are in September. It was most sad, as I know there would have been a full house any other month.
Please forgive me for running away directly after, but I had H. E. The Governor dining before the **** [indecipherable]. Again very many thanks.
Yours sincerely,
Beryl M. Crookshank
Of the two indecipherable words in “full of *** *** people are” the second word is perhaps the Jain word Sruta.
