Dear Miss Phillips
Many thanks to you & Mrs Webster for your kind invitation which I gladly accept.
I can't leave home until the 1st week in May & I think my first engagement will be in Glasgow. Perhaps you will write to Mr Pollok, "Walden" Broomfield Road, Springburn, Glasgow for information as to dates fixed there.
I shall be sorry if I cannot be in Aberdeen before Lady Ramsay leaves as I should much like to meet her.
Perhaps you will be able to arrange one or two drawing room meetings for me while I am with you. We have been holding very successful ones in London lately & have very greatly increased our membership. We might have an outdoor as well as an indoor meeting if you agree. I do not yet know how my dates will be arranged as all the Branches have now yet written to me but it must be "first come first served“. You had better take the 2nd week in May.
With very kind regards
Sincerely yours
Emmeline Pankhurst
