About MeThis is part of a collection of documents relating to Caroline Phillips (1874-1956), an Aberdonian journalist who was involved in the women's suffrage movement. The collection contains important correspondence between Phillips and key leaders in the suffrage movement, including Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst.20 Sept. 1907
Dear Miss Phillips,
Miss Fraser informs me by telegram that my presence at the Council tomorrow will not be necessary. As I have to be in London on Sunday only urgent necessity w[oul]d lead me to take the journey to Scotland. I am however very willing to attend the next meeting of the Council and any meeting of the local Unions. Unity is all that is required now to take us through the little difficulty in which we stand.
Till the 1st Oct & sincerely yours.
Christabel Pankhurst
