	Charles E. Stansfield in the Chair. &lt;br/&gt;
1. Minutes of last read &amp; approved. &lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
3. A letter from R. H. Robson was then read. It stated that the excellence of Book Club suppers has 
increased, is increasing, &amp; ought to be diminished. This caused a certain embarrassment. Several 
members who liked to think of themselves as frugal folk, reflected uneasily that the interval for light 
refreshment had often proved itself more palatable than some of the drier fare before and after.[...] 
&lt;br/&gt;
[...] &lt;br/&gt;
9. Finally the Chairman referred again to the Supper question. R. H. Robson’s concern was one of those 
which demanded from us a statesmanlike Quaker compromise, perhaps an acceptance in principle and a 
rejection in practice wold best meet the case. It was felt we should thank R. H. Robson for his letter, and 
watch him closely during heat.
&lt;br/&gt;[signed] R. D. L. Moore&lt;/br&gt;
	Feb. 20 1939.
