Sir,—
The Executive Committee of the Social Purity Alliance, meeting on the 6th May, 1896, desire to convey to you their keen appreciation of your intention of doing your utmost not only to raise the age of consent, but to remove a statute which is correctly described as "shameful page 9 and objectionable." They earnestly trust that this intention, for which they are most grateful, will be realised in the coming session.
A. Goff, Chairman.
Eric Hammond, Secretary.
The Hon. R. Seddon, Premier of New Zealand.
