Letters of Olive Shreiner

To Miss E. HOBHOUSE


London,
? March, 1915

I would not go to that meeting even if I were well. I am so sick of English Jingo-ism and self-glorification which ever, under the guise of a "peace" meeting, always comes out. I went to one peace meeting, and I and many of the audience hissed some of the speakers and called "Peace! Peace! We want peace!" It was supposed to be a peace meeting; and some of the of how they could help the war! It is much better should stay away from such meetings.
