Suffragette Interest - Emmeline Pankhurst  Autograph letter signed ('E. Pankhurst') to General Smyth, reading "I saw Ethel yesterday and I had the latest news of her this morning. She is much better and I hope with good nursing and feeding up will soon recover her strength. I am enclosing the little brochure of which I told you. If you think it useful, we can send you a few copies for distribution. Many progressive employers are purchasing quantities for free distribution. My daughter Christabel (the author) has just returned from Glasgow where she had a crowded and enthusiastic meeting in the St. Andrew's Hall. If only we can popularise the ideas set forth in the pamphlet, we shall defeat the Bolsheviks on their own ground at the general election. Is not the war news splendid? Still I cannot help thinking there is some trickery in the German Revolution and that, if we give easier terms to the 'proletariat' than we should to the Kaiser, we shall suffer for it later on", four pages, mid-horizontal mailing fold, some foxing and browning, 8vo, 50 Clarendon Road, Holland Park Avenue, 10 November 1915. Together with: an autograph letter signed from Christabel Pankhurst to Lady Cynthia Colville, regarding a doctor "who might possibly be helpful to your two young relatives", two pages, mailing fold, some creasing, oblong 8vo, 5 Vincent Square, 29 December 1937;  ink signature of Christabel Pankhurst clipped form the close of a letter (3)
