l was shocked to read of the death of our dear and esteemed Marie Louise Berneri. I hasten to offer you my deepest sympathy, realising the great loss you have suffered. I remember Marie Louise when she arrived in this country, a beautiful girl with a most stimulating mind, and followed her development and steadfast loyalty to her political convictions, which had my warmest respect. She died as she lived, an honest, upright woman, worthy of the highest and finest traditions of Anarchism.
Marie Louise Berneri will always be remembered by all Colonial comrades who had the pleasure of knowing her as a sincere supporter in our struggles against imperialism. I feel humble before her and salute the contribution she has made to the cause for which she lived and gave of her best.
