Dear Miss Phillips
I am spending a few days in Scotland early in May & shall be glad to visit your Branch if you can arrange a meeting for me.
I should like to have the opportunity of meeting members & friends privately as well.
We of the National Committee are very anxious to keep in touch with the provincial Branches & so we arrange that from time to time visits of the kind I am now undertaking shall be made.
Please let me know as early as possible your views & what date will suit your members.
I need hardly say how much I should like to meet you again.
Sincerely yours
E. Pankhurst
