To J. W. Ellis 21 January 1882
January 21, 1882.
To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of the City of London.
My Lord:
We, the undersigned, consider that there should be a public expression of opinion respecting the persecution which the Jews of Russia have recently and for some time past suffered. We therefore ask your lordship to be so good as to call, at your earliest convenience, a public meeting for that purpose at the Mansion House, and that you will be good enough to take the chair on the occasion.1
We are your lordship’s faithful servants—
