Summary
Thanking her for a contribution, possibly to the Women's Freedom League; writing about the suffrage movement: "I do know - and I know very well - that our own people are doing their uttermost. I also feel that I would willingly do much, much, more. But I am convinced of this. It is the spirit that counts. Material necessities will be supplied, if we keep up the courage faith and large hope, of which our great Demonstration was a symbol. For the woman's cause and the true Democracy of which it forms a part, I have never felt more hopeful than I am to-day;" saying that since their procession, they have received several substantial donations "from quite unexpected quarters;" adding that she will be speaking at two outdoor meetings in London next week and inviting Cobden-Sanderson to come; mentioning that she read T. J. Cobden-Sanderson's letter in the newspaper and thanking him for it: "If the men-politicians were, in any numbers, like him we should have no further trouble."
