Many of the extracts, such as those from letters written by the Dean of Norwich, Canon Willick and Lady Isabel Margesson refer to George Cadbury in religious and patriotic language. Others, such as letters written by Mrs. Murray Lambert and Taylor Cadbury's close friend Lily Davey, refer to the wide influence of George Cadbury's practical work, defining his life as 'animated by one strong purpose, to make a better world'. Mr. Gerald Beesly remarked that Bournville would be a lasting memorial to George Cadbury, whereas Mrs. Alfred Southall wrote that Cadbury carried his 'Christianity into all the departments' of his life, setting 'a wonderful example of this great Quaker ideal'.
It is significant to note that a small section of the extract from Sir. George Newman's letter has been cut out and covered over, indicating that this document underwent further editing after being typewritten. This document is most probably Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury's personal copy of the extracts which she retained amongst her personal papers for future reference. |
