Autograph letter Signed to Dear Rachel
saying she has hear from Angela of the famous start you and your sister in law have made with infant work in Padiham. We are going to have a campaign in Lancashire this autumn, with Miss Bondfield to speak & go on Deputns to Town Councils. Burnley is one of the places we hope to hold a meeting in. Perhaps you wd like to go over. I wd let you know date & place if you would care to do so. It is difficult to say what sort of demand might be expected for your Memorials. I should doubt very much whether individuals among the workers would respond - but it is possible that bodies like the Co opve Wholesale Society might do so..., 4 sides 8vo., 11 Hampstead Square, NW, 5th September no year

Background
Padiham is a market town and civil parish on the River Calder, in the Borough of Burnley in Lancashire. Davies compiled Maternity: Letters from Working Women (1915), a book based on letters from Guild members about their experiences of pregnancy, childbirth and raising children. She was the editor of Life as we have Known it (1931), a collection of Guild members' reflections, which included an introduction by her friend Virginia Woolf. Davies was a prominent and dedicated pacifist of her era. Her brother was Arthur LLEWELYN-DAVIS (1863-1907) who was a barrister of Welsh origin. He is best known as the father of the boys who were the inspiration for the stories of Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie.
