Rosamund Walis in the Chair &lt;br/&gt;
1. Minutes of last read + approved &lt;br/&gt;
2. Minute 7 of 19th Dec. – relating to the accounts – was continued &lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
5. The subject of letters was introduced by Roger Moore, and led to a desultory but 
amusing discussion ranging from the Pastons to modern family letters and 
scurrilous blackmailing letters. &lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
7. Margaret Dilkes read from Lord Chesterfield’s letters to his son. &lt;br/&gt;
8. Ethel Stevens read letters which she had cut out of the papers from time to 
time, notably one from a child of thirteen to John Ruskin. &lt;br/&gt;
9. H. R. Smith read some four or five short letters from E. V. Lucas, “The Second 
Post.” &lt;br/&gt;
10. Mary Pollard read Pliny’s account of the Eruption of Vesuvius. &lt;br/&gt;
11. Roger Moore read some of Keats’s letters which were much enjoyed, and a 
Keats evening was suggested for some future meeting. &lt;br/&gt;
