[Letter to] an Unidentified Correspondent

　　　　　　　　　　　　June 2, 1867                                  
　Dear Madam 
　　Your letter has been sent
as you desired, to the Pall Mall
Gazette, but it has not been inserted
and probably will not be inserted
by the Editor. It was probably from 
a foresight of that result that 
you wished it to pass through my
hands; and I am glad to be
able to add yours to the many 
strong adhesions I have received
from women of almost all classes
and ranks. I hope and believe
that in the rapid progress of this 
question, the time is near at hand 
when no woman will feel it
necessary to reserve her name for
the private encouragement of those
who are moving actively and publicly
in the cause of women.  I am 
Dear Madam
　　　　　　　　　　　very truly yours 
                     　　　　　　　　J.S.Mill
