LevelItem
Date20 November 1909
DescriptionIn this letter Lady Nina Campbell thanks Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury for making her party welcome as guests at the Manor House during the Parents' National Education Union Conference. She also thanks Taylor Cadbury for providing a tour of Bournville for delegates. Lady Campbell notes particularly how Elizabeth had not merely hosted her guests at the Manor House but had invited people 'right in, to your home circle & friendly intimacy'. She suggests that experiencing the Cadbury family's home life had allowed her to see 'the Ideal flow into the Practical, & "Now" made to serve "Forever"'.

Lady Campbell writes that her daughter Sylvia had been most impressed by the group's 'visit to Bournville' which would 'always remain' with her. Reflecting on their stay at the Manor House, Lady Campbell concludes her letter referring to lost property, noting 'if you find a grey muslin motor veil, it is mine!'
