Dear Sir,

Permit me to call your attention to the accompanying circulars.

I must have your honoured name in my books as one of the Pioneers — whose place — now — there are none to fill.

Not for what the cause is at present but for what it has been & will be again[.]

[2] I am preparing this book & now simply wish to know if there are any notes of your early experiences with which you could & would favour me.

Anything sent by you will be highly appreciated.

Yours very faithfully | Emma H. Britten2 [signature]
