Dear Mrs Murray

3 There are two books I am sure you will be much interested to read if
4you have not done so already - a little book costing 1/3 called
5"Woman's Suffrage" by Arnold Harris Matthew & "The Convert" by
6Elizabeth Robins ^costing 6/-^. I think one can get both at the book
7sellers.
8
9 You cannot know how your deep earnestness in this matter has cheered &
10touched my heart. I am sure you will do much good work for women in
11the years that are coming.

13 Yours very sincerely
