Scope and Content

Letter from W.W. Hadley (1866-1960), newspaper editor, to the Honorary Secretaries, Manchester Transvaal Committee, notifying the Committee of the successful meetings organised by the John Bright League in Rochdale, at which Liberal Unionists and a leading local Conservative also spoke out against the war. Hadley suggests that a detailed analysis of the negotiations between the two governments would be of value, helping people know how much responsibility for the war lies with the British government.
