You must not think I don’t sympathize with you, but I am so vexed and perplexed really I don’t know what to say. I always hope you can see the next step in a clearer and brighter light than I do, and,—you are sure you have my best wishes. I am rather uneasy about you, being sure you must be worn and harassed, and can hardly know what to do next.
I am very glad the examinations were successfully passed....
Your loving,
M. E. J.-B.”

Dear Miss Jex-Blake,
Mr. Sidgwick has shown me in “the Scotsman” a notice to the effect that they are attempting to exclude you from paying the fees at Edinburgh.
Are they making a final effort to reject you? Will it be successful? If so, have you any plan of action.
