Dear Miss Phillips

Yr letter in the Journal is capital the very thing. I wonder if it is really intended to exclude women from Asquith‘s meeting. If so your proposal seems the proper thing. We had better wait & see if they really shut the women out. It would one to get up a big meeting after all - even on the very night Mr Asquith is to be here - make a programme that would attract the people if only from curiosity!
I gave your address to day to a man - a student - who wants literature on the subject of women's suffrage. He is to take part in a debate & is to take the side in favour of it. I did not know Mrs Bryant's add. I think it would be a good thing if you had some literature by you any how.
I hope to see you soon,
Isn't that Birmingham affair horrid?
Yrs very truly
A.M. Ramsay
