Thinks this is a time when they are warming to the old country. Wants to establish 'The British meeting'- a meeting of children here at home like the British Association but more historical. It could last a week; half camping out with days devoted to Drama, Art, Music , Poetry etc also Inventions, Agriculture & History. It would bring people together and become a great National Picnic. Seeks Irving's support to act as President of the first 'Dramatic Day'. |
