Dear Miss Phillips,
Thank you for your letter. We had a very successful demonstration at Nuneaton on Saturday.
I suppose you will enquire at once the available dates for the Music Hall after
Christmas. On hearing from you I will approach Mr Zangwill.
Mrs Mayo not long ago said she would leave the Union - it is a great pity she did not keep her word. She seems to be giving you a great deal of trouble.
I do not quite know when the Hull election will be, but as soon as it is over Mrs.
Pankhurst will be free to go to Scotland. We must have the drawing room meeting.
Mr Murray is ill at present, so he has not been able to pay further attention to the matter of deputation.
I hope you will retain Secretaryship. I think you will get on all right in a very short while.
Sincerely yours,
C.H. Pankhurst
