Description

4to. (1+1 =) 2 pp. on 2 ff. Both letters to the novelist Jean Middlemass (1833-1919), about organising a farewell and gifts for a departing colleague: "Miss Janet Cooke, the Assistant Secretary of the Society of Women Journalists, is giving up her position [.] This is owing entirely to her mother's ill-health [.] It was suggested at the last Council Meeting that most members of the Council would like to give Miss Cooke a little present [.]" (2 April 1901). - The autograph letter with thanks concerning the same matter: "Thousand thanks for your kind contribution to the little present for Miss Cooke. She's a dear good girl & really deserves it & I feel she will appreciate it to the very full [.]". - Stannard was founding president of the Writers' Club in 1892, and president of the Society of Women Journalists from 1901 to 1903. - Both letters with embossed address.
