Written from Liverpool. Devotes letter mostly to the question of women's suffrage: she fears that the women will shortly be utterly swamped [this was a reference to the proposed extension of the franchise to the agricultural labourer sponsored by GO Trevelyan. See also letter to Mrs Wilson at about the same date] 'I should like to see it worked by some of our best people and not left to be too much represented by poor dear Miss Becker to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude, but who has not the gift of winning'. She tries as much as possible to join in with repeal work.
Josephine Butler to her friend [Miss Priestman]
