Another letter from H J Fleure to Hugh Robert Mill. I love these old letters in the GA Archives. I plan to go up to Solly Street this coming summer to spend a day delving into someof the boxes that I didn't manage to get into last time I went, which is too long ago, and take lots more pictures.
This was the era when Fleure was in Manchester rather than Aberystwyth, and he is sad that Mill is no longer chairing GA meetings, but says that:
"the Association is now, I hope, on its feet and able to walk erect"
This was down to some financial prudence from W.A. Cadbury.
The death of T.W.Sowerbutts of the Manchester Geographical Society is also noted.
He finishes by noting the growth in people taking geography as a subject in examinations. A promising trend.
