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.September 12th, 1908
Dear Miss Phillips,
I think it is now too late in the season to use the van which Miss Lumsden so kindly offers.
Do you think it will be possible for her to place it at our disposal next year? I am writing direct to her, as you suggest.
I cannot tell you definitely today about the 16th of October for the Aberdeen meeting, but you shall hear from me again as soon as possible.
Please write to me whenever you hear of a Cabinet Minister's meeting in Scotland, as we do not mean to let them escape us by going there.
Very sincerely yours.
p.p. Christabel Pankhurst
L.B.
Miss C. Phillips,

How much easier it would be today for suffragettes to communicate, spread the message and keep tabs on the politicians in their sights!
