      <div type="chapter" label="Victor Alexander was secretary to the XII Book Club from 1931 to 1940. It is inferred from this that he was the author of this set of minutes.">
        <p>
          <ptr target="ukred-30098">&lt;p&gt;"Meeting held at Whinfell, Upper Redlands Rd. 23.10.’37&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;	Alfred Rawlings in the Chair&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. The Secretary asked permission to reserve the reading of some of the minutes until after the literary part of the 
programme had been taken, as these minutes would bear directly upon the discussion which would necessarily follow 
as to the future of the Club. This permission was given and the other minutes were then read and approved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Victor Alexander then gave a brief account of the career of William Fryer Harvey, followed by an appreciation and 
review of “We were Seven” which he had previously written for the Bootham Magazine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Helen Rawlings read several of Harvey’s poems from the volume “Laughter and Ghosts[”].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Elizabeth T. Alexander read a chapter from “Caprimulgus”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. Frank Pollard read “August Heat” from Midnight House.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. Janet Rawlings read “Patience” from Quaker Byways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7. Charles E. Stansfield read two more poems from “Laughter and Ghosts”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8. Howard R. Smith read “The Tortoise” from Midnight House.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9. The Secretary then read the minutes referring to last time’s discussion on the Club’s future, and also two letters of 
resignation. These were from Edgar and Mignon Castle and from Dorothy Brain.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p&gt;10. Discussion then followed."&lt;/p&gt;
