Dear Mr Pethick Lawrence,
I am hoping so much that you will be able to attend the meeting of our women’s committee on Tuesday June 1st. It would be a great help to have you.
The rough draft of our report on women in trade unions {2} is now practically complete & lying for inspection at 34 Eccleston Square.
I should be grateful if you could find time to look at it. & let me have any criticisms before the meeting.
Unfortunately, for financial reasons, we have only one typed copy.
Yrs sincerely
Barbara Drake
