Dear Ms Gaudin - I recently (and quite by chance) came across the EG Society and your article. Might I respectfully ask you to have resort not to your spell checker, but to a proof reader, so as to do yourself and Elizabeth Goudge literary justice Regards and best
wishes for 2009 Margaret Donnelly

Dear Mrs Donnelly,
This site is run by myself on a voluntary basis, for the love of promoting Elizabeth Goudge's work and life. Unfortunately I can not afford the luxury of a proof reader. The Biography was one of the first pieces I wrote for the site, as I felt that it was a necessary item to have. I hope that both my skills and professionalism have improved in the two years since then. However, your email prompted me to take a look at the piece, and I can see that it does need polishing.
thank you for your input
Deborah Gaudin

I am sorry if I sounded impertinent, it is just that I have a horror of
the miss spelt word and the spell checker, while handy does not know as much as it thinks it does. But as you say, it is worth it to promote the work of Elizabeth Goudge. I too live in the shadow of a cathedral (Ripon). I admire anyone who is prepared to do something to further a cause

Best regards Margaret Donnelly >

Dear Margaret,

I keep meaning to add your email to the Goudge Talk list and I just forget! I have so much going on at the moment, that it keeps slipping my mind.
You were not in the slightest bit impertinent, I valued your remarks, which were valid.
I know that you live a long way away, but I will be inviting you to the first ever Convention shortly.
I WILL put in the emails next month, and thank you again for your input,

 

Dear Deborah - thank you for your e-mail - I too know how easily one can allow oneself to get diverted (NOT "senior moments"). I look forward to hearing the details for the forthcoming Goudge convention.
regards Maggie Donnelly
