1p., 8vo. In fair condition, on aged and creased paper. The first name of the signature is difficult to decipher. She writes that she met Lynd 'some time ago at Mrs. Green's', and that she remembered her name 'when Mrs. Heseltine suggested it in connection with a vacancy which we have at present time at this office. | The vacancy is for a Press Writer, i.e. someone to conduct Suffrage and Anti-suffrage controversy in various papers, to write articles, etc.' She is unsure whether Lynd 'would care to consider anything at all of this nature or whether even you are anxious to work', as she understands that 'Mr. Lynd has been ill', but suggests she telephone her to discuss the appointment.
