| Description | Writing from Lichfield in Staffordshire, Gertie M. Spencer (nee Johnson) had been a student at the Friends' First Day School in Peckham where Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury had volunteered as a teacher during the late 1870s. Spencer remarks on hearing Taylor Cadbury's broadcast and the familiarity of her voice. She writes that she had been taught by Taylor Cadbury's elder sister Margaret Graham (nee Taylor), and writes that she remembered Taylor Cadbury with her 'class of young men'. Spencer remarks that she had maintained friendships with many of the old teachers from the school. She also provides a brief account of her present situation, writing that she was married to an army officer stationed at Whittington which she remarks was an occupation 'quite against' her pacifist religious views. Spencer concludes her letter asking if she could visit Taylor Cadbury at the Manor House in Northfield. |
