“WHAT TRUST CAN BE PLACED IN THE SINCERITY OF THE CZAR’S APPEAL WHEN FOLLOWED BY SUCH AGGRESSIVE & REPRESSIVE MEASURES!”
CRANE
(Walter, 1845-1915, Painter and Illustrator)
Autograph Letter Signed to Mr VOLKHOVSKY
(Feliks Vadimovich, 1846-1914, Ukrainian and Russian Revolutionary, Journalist and Writer) replying to his “letter with the resolution carried at the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Society of Friends of Russian Freedom. I can only say that I entirely sympathise with the terms of that resolution, as I think it most deplorable at the moment of the Czar’s appeal for peace and disarmament that the Finnish people should be deprived of their political liberties, & placed under the military authority of the Russian government. What trust can be placed in the sincerity of the Czar’s appeal when followed by such aggressive & repressive measures?...”, 2 sides 8vo., 13 Holland St, Kensington crossed out and a note at the top of the letter in another hand “Baking up our Resolution”, 26th March
