| Description | This typescript, written in note form, refers to the most notable events during Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury's visit to India. These notes may have been compiled by Taylor Cadbury as a basis from which to write a report of her experiences. The notes relate directly to the events recorded in Eiluned Lewis's diary and refer to the party's travelling arrangements, their visits to schools and hostels supported by Quaker mission work and the social events which they attended.
The typescript provides a detailed overview of proceedings at the World Congress of the International Council of Women where Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury had delivered an address entitled 'Training of the Social Worker' relating to the work of the Selly Oak colleges, including Kingsmead which trained people to undertake Quaker mission work overseas. The notes also remark on Taylor Cadbury's invitation to a large educational conference and the broadcast which she had delivered in Calcutta on 5th February 1936 considering the 'meaning of and outlook for Peace'. Detailed notes feature relating to Taylor Cadbury's visit to a home for disadvantaged children in Bombay and visits which Taylor Cadbury and her companions had made to learn about philanthropic work undertaken by women and supported by Quakers in India. |
