Excerpt from The Honourable Adelaide Drummond: Retrospect and Memoir Mrs. Drummond died, in April 1911, many of those who knew her intimately felt that there should be some memorial of one whose character had so impressed them, and whose life, though uneventful, had not been devoid of interest. The son and daughter who had lived with her to the last were anxious that I should write a biography of her, and the suggestion was favoured by others less immediately concerned. It would have been impossible that any task could be more congenial to me, and I naturally respected their wish and appreciated their confidence, so I resolved to do what I could, as opportunity might serve. An acquaintance of nearly fifty years, and a more intimate relation for thirty-five of these, had revealed to me how much interesting matter in connexion with her life must be available.
