She is pleased to learn from Cone that Pfister is joining the College in the autumn. The term begins on 28 September and it is 'more than probable that we shall not be at Maidenhead as we hope to find a building nearer to London … We are very busy with rehearsals and work for our Advisory Board demonstration and therefore I am never in London where Pfister will be working in September at 'the Cone School' in an evening and seldom during the daytime just now.' The letter ends on the subject of attendance at 'the Imperial Congress'.
