NOT:=article. State Library NSW lists Corrie as author. 8 pp. pamphlet, part of series? Final page signed “Yours Faithfully Sophie Corrie” before binding (last syllable cut off).

At 76, she traveled to Britain, U.S., the Continent; this pamphlet compiles news items on her return. Part two: “Glimpses of Old Sydney,” [rpt. from Wide Bay News ]: “Mrs. Sophie Corrie, who has recently returned from a trip to the Old Country, has been tendered, (says the ”Stock and Station Journal“) a very high compliment . . . [as] the first woman admitted a councilor of the Chamber of Agriculture” (6).
