THE COMMITTEE FOR WORKERS’ REPRESENTATION.

28, Victoria Street, London.

I.

February 24, 1905.

Dear Sir,

I am instructed to inform you that this Committee has decided to allocate from its Russian Fund the sum of £80 in aid of your work. This is done, however, on condition that £60 of this amount is spent on relief for the widows and orphans of the victims of the numerous pogroms which have taken place in the Russian Empire since and including Sunday, January 22. Would you be so kind as to write to me stating whether you, on behalf of your organisation, accept these conditions of payment and promise to carry them out. If your reply is in the affirmative, I will send you a cheque immediately.
Yours faithfully, Ramsay MacDonald

II.

March 22, 1905.

Dear Sir,

On March 9 we sent you a cheque for £80 from our Russian Fund, and subsequently, on the 14th, a further £90 from the same source.¹
To this day we have not received a single word in reply, although on each occasion we requested acknowledgment of receipt. We have received replies from other organisations with which we have been in correspondence, and would be grateful to hear from you by return of post.
Yours faithfully, J. D. Middleton.
