Fawcett (Dame Millicent Garrett, leader of the constitutional women's suffrage movement and author, 1847-1929) Autograph Letter signed to Mrs Cookson, 8vo, 4pp., 2 Gower Street [London], 20th October, n.y. [1885], on the issue of child prostitution, "... I think you are a little hard on the more excitable people. Several of these have been working hard for many years in actual daily contact with the physical and moral ruin brought about by wicked men and wicked laws. The wonder is not that they have occasionally lost their heads, but that they have not become almost mad. Because until recent events they have hardly been able to stir the public conscience at all"; and 2 other ALs.s from Fawcett, 8vo, folds (3).
