Letter from Alex Porter to C.P. Scott

Letter from Alex Porter, Hon. Secretary of the Manchester Transvaal Committee, asking Scott whether an enclosed piece [not included] would be suitable for publication in the Manchester Guardian, copies of the same piece have been sent to L.T. Hobhouse, social philosopher and journalist, and various M.Ps. A postscript advises that the Manchester Courier continues [accusing the London and Manchester Transvaal Committees of sending telegrams to [Paul] Kruger, president of the Transvaal, advising him to make no concessions to the British Government], and has asked for a list of committee members, which Porter refused. Porter sent word that if the editor of the Courier still believed the accusations, the Courier ought to publish the names of those involved.
