You can add my name to your list: I like your idea much.

For myself, whatever influence I have is, I believe, because I have always kept aloof from any clique. I care little for Female suffrage & have given the widest berth to that set of women who are called, not unjustly, the shrieking sisterhood – Yet, I like women to be strong & brave – both for themselves & as the helpers, not the slaves or foes, of men. – A paper of mine shortly coming out in the Cornhill, will tell you what my opinions are – & if they tally with yours, I will help you all I can. –

Very truly yours DMCraik
