“Yours always truly,
“Frances M. Buss.
“My young people were delighted with their visit to Girton.”
In a letter to Dr. Fitch, dated July 24, 1879, Miss Buss thus expresses her satisfaction with the success of the efforts in this direction—
“Dear Mr. Fitch,
“Many thanks for your kind note, which gave me great pleasure. I am glad to know that our friends are satisfied with the result of their exertions on our behalf so far.
“The fight was hard. I wonder how the women will do in the B.A. and B.Sc. Examinations.
“Cheltenham has done as well as usual. Nine candidates out of ten passed in this last matriculation examination.
“We are exceptionally fortunate this year, but our success is largely owing to my accomplished and brilliant young fellow-worker, Mrs. Bryant, who is as good and charming as she is clever.
“I thank you most heartily for your congratulations, dear Mr. Fitch.
