Letter: 4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged and worn. After discussing his relocation to Paris, she asks whether he has heard 'the news about our School and how we have just moved? We have the whole of a house (over a shop) three floors all to ourselves still in Exhibition Road & we are pleased to have the whole House front to ourselves so when you come & see us next time we shall be very conspicuous as we are going to have a big board all along the House front.' She is having 'a little rest' in Oxford after the move, 'and there is some good carving in some of the college chapels'. In England 'trade is slack', although 'Mr. Greenwood [...] is very busy & I believe both Harry & Percy Rogers are still with him'. She ends: 'The School also has some work & it is very full of Students'. Accompanied by a printed ticket (1p, landscape 16mo), dated December 1908, announcing the relocation of the school to its new premises in Thurloe Place, 'Off Exhibtiion Road, 3 minutes from South Kensington Station'.
