The Henson Journals

Monday, November 3rd, 1913.

I addressed a small company of ladies in the interest of the Settlement in Bethnal Green. The meeting was held in the Examination Schools, & presided over by the late Rector of Exeter, Jackson. Miss Harrington spoke at excessive length, & I distilled platitudes for 20 minutes. I suspect that the badness of the meeting is really due to resentment against me on the score of Female Suffrage.

I went to London by the 1.54 p.m. express: & drove at once to Westminster, where I had tea with Pearce. Then I picked up Ella at the British Museum, & went with her to King's Cross, where we caught the 5.30 p.m. express: & reached Durham about 10.30 p.m.
