"Chesterton's Marriage Proposal"
For this month's meeting, on Sunday, February 16th, 2025 at Ivy Hall beginning at 6:00 PM, we will be reading what has sometimes been called "Chesterton's Marriage Proposal," a letter which he wrote to his future wife Frances during their courtship, which comprises the whole of Chapter VIII of Maisie Ward's famous biography. Seems appropriate to us, with love in the air, on the weekend of Valentine's Day!
