GE to Emily Davies, London, [22? November 1867]
Text: Barbara Stephen, Emily Davies and Girton College, London, Constable, 1927, p. 170.
We strongly object to the proposal that there should be a beginning made [on a small scale.] To spend forces and funds in this way would be a hindrance rather than a furtherance of the great scheme which is pre-eminently worth trying for. Every one concerned should be roused to understand that a great campaign has to be victualled for.
