      <div type="chapter" label="It is clear from the handwriting that Margaret Dilks, secretary to the XII Book Club from 1940 to 1970, was not the author of this set of minutes.&#10;">
        <p>
          <ptr target="ukred-30453">1. Apologies for absence were received from Margaret and A. Bruce Dilks, Alice 
and Arnold Joselin, Sylvanus A. Reynolds, Kenneth F. Nicholson, Francis H. Knight.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
3. The subject chosen was letters, and during the evening we heard a most 
interesting variety of letters, the matter varying from good &amp; energetic advice to a 
brother-in-law by Abraham Lincoln, to the butcher of our dreams; from Zola’s 
account of the Dreyfus case to the amazing all-round ability to destroy of Leonardo 
da Vinci. Charming letters to children were read, and various letters to the public; 
and yet through all this variety, links were found connecting one set of letters with 
the next. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
In the first section of the meeting the following were read:-	Letters by 
Leonardo da Vinci read by K. Waschauer, by Abraham Lincoln read by F. E. 
Pollard, and a humorous selection read by Edith B. and Howard R. Smith. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
4. We adjourned for refreshments. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
5. The minutes of the last meeting were then read and signed. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
7. The business being completed, we had a further selection of letters
Zola’s letters on the Dreyus case [read by] Howard R. Smith[.] 
Letters written to children [read by] Muriel Stevens[.] 
Captain Scott’s last letters [read by] Elsie D. Harrod[.] 
J. M. Barrie’s letter to Mrs. Scott [read by] Rosamund Wallis[.] 
Letters of Gertrude Bell [read by] Mary Stansfield[.]&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
8. The meeting ended with general thankfulness that we had not to spend the 
coming night as Gertrude Bell had done on the mountains."
