My dear Mrs Pethick Lawce†,
I see that you are holding your meeting in Hyde Park on Sunday {1} at 5. p.m.
I am going to Kingston in the evening, so I can only be with you for a short time; but I should like to be on your platform if you will have me, for a few minutes.
I do feel so keenly the injustice of the Government, and your husband’s courage in fighting it out.
Poor Miss Davison! What a wonderful action! Alas! that women should be sacrificed in this terrible way.
I hope you are keeping well. {2} My love to you
Yours affectionately
C. Despard
