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.Jan. 11th, 1908
Lady Ramsay
Aberdeen
Dear Lady Ramsay,
After telegraphing to you this morning I received a marked copy of the Aberdeen Free Press. In addition to the very excellent leading article I see a reference to Mr. Asquith's candidature and a statement to the effect that the women students are likely to vote against him, and I do hope that this is the case because it would be one more way of bringing pressure to bear upon him. This election seems to afford a splendid opening for us. I suppose you know that I am to be in Aberdeen on the 21st and 22nd of this month. I hope that I shall have the pleasure of meeting you and your daughter. Will it be possible for me to get into touch with the women students?
Mr Murray, MP. is in charge of all the arrangements in connection with my visit and when I am writing to him I shall speak of the matter to him also.
With kind regards,
Sincerely yours,
Christabel Pankhurst
