FEMALE FRANCHISE.
Venice, 29th May, 1870.
Sir: I am obliged by your note. I have no time for private correspondence at present, but you are quite right in your supposition as to my views respecting female franchise. So far from wishing to give votes to women, I would fain take them away from most men.[143]
Very sincerely yours,
J. Ruskin.
