Dear Miss Phillips

I am sending you the name and address of the Bill-poster who is responsible for our large Posters throughout Aberdeen and if not asking too much I should feel obliged if you could see that they are really posted. We are having these in all the different towns where we have Branches of the WSPU and those coming to take part in the Procession. The Bills are for one week from Sat or Mon until the day of Procession. I have much pleasure in enclosing Platform Ticket. We are very busy getting the final arrangements completed Sub Committee meets on ground today.
Aberdeen Societies all rally under No.2 in ground. It was arranged that Edin No.1 lead the Procession and the other towns follow alphabetically so that will save any confusion. will you let me know what time you special train arrives in Edin? & which station.
Like us here I expect you have been busy in Aberdeen. I had an interesting letter from Mrs Easson telling me how hard you were working.
I feel this event is going to give our cause in Scotland a great impetus and am looking forward with much hope.
Mrs Sanderson is with us here doing splendid work and Miss Fraser is working hard in Glasgow.
With kindest regards and hoping to hear from you. Yours in the cause going well.
Bell
