To John Henderson, Secretary of the National Liberal Club: "I very much regret that I cannot accept your invitation to dinner on January 15. Until the Liberal Party shows some signes of returning to its high traditions of freedom and self-government, I feel that the only way a woman should enter the National Liberal Club is with a stone in her hand [...]" (11. I.).

"I am sorry. When your colleagues have given me my vote I promise you I will come and speak for you. Until then, I could only come as an enemy - with stones in my hand [...]" (13. I.).

On stationery with black border.
