    Regarding the prospect of Mrs Daldy traveling to New Plymouth for the National Council of Women meeting. The primary reason for Miss Henderson writing however, was to consult Mrs Daldy about the Councils proposed Disabilities Bill. She wrote that Mr McNab, the representative who would present the Bill, would not do so without it being made more specific in scope. Mr McNab suggested selecting the most urgent and pressing disabilities and advocating for them.
