2. 11 May 1898 from Rosamond Talbot that she and Grace had been to the House Acts Exhibition where there were too many interesting things to see in one day. In addition as they were returning they bumped into Fanny and took a bus to Kensington Gardens where Fanny showed them some very successful photographs. Rosamond also commented that it was not judicious of Mr Armstrong to have allowed the use of the school room on his own authority for what seems to be a "partisan affair".
