Re Beacon Hill School.

Barnard tells Dora that the "Open Day" was marvellous and "the plays and the dancing were a glorious relief from the stodginess of orthodox schooling and I cannot praise too highly your methods of glorifying the natural amidst the beauties of nature itself."

"You may rest assured that having seen with my own eyes your methods and their admirable results, I shall not only follow you with June wherever you decide to re-establish your splendid school, but will willingly sing your praises to those of my friends I consider would be delighted to learn as much as I have discovered for myself."
