Scope and content
West Hackhurst, Abinger Hammer, Dorking. - Has refused to take the pledge [committing members of the National Council of Civil Liberties to distribute 'seditious' speeches made by Ramsay MacDonald during the First World War and the 1926 General Strike at Aldershot army camp in protest against the Sedition Bill] and offered to resign from the presidency. Asks if she knows of a short-hand typist. Had a good lunch with Wells and persuaded him to speak at the meeting [of the NCCL] on the 18th. Gives the address for Bob to send a donation to the Council, though he may share the scepticism of C.A. [Clifford Allen].
