My dear Pixie

Goosedom will be very glad of Miss Agnes Acland.1 I believe I first missed seeing her at Oxford but I have often heard of her. I enclose a sheet of rules, and will tell Double Daisy to send her the questions.

Tell Miss Acland to choose her Gosling name

1Agnes Henrietta Acland (b.1851) who seems to have become a Gosling as Acorn, was the daughter of Sir Thomas Dyke Acland (1809–1898), 11th Bt., a prominent Tractarian layman with a special interest in education.
