My dear Miss Clay,
Enclosed find a letter which explains itself.
Knowing nothing whatever about the writer,I did not of
course feel like encouraging her and think the best thing
I could do was to send her letter to you, together with
carbon of my rather non~commital reply.
Yours very truly,

 Swarthmore, 2a.,
June 11, 1909.

I‘

Dear Members of the Business Committee:-

I found this morning the copies of a letter from Miss
Blackwell to me in answer to the letter which I sent out during
Miss Shaw's absence in regard to removal of headquarters from
Warren. At the time it seemed to me that you all ought to see
Miss Blackwell's letter, and I had these copies made and then
failed to send them to so, so I enclose one herewith.

I wish also to make a report on one or two points on
which I feel I owe it to the Business Committee:

BOOK OF RECITATIOHS,- BOOK FOR DEBATBRS: it the
Buffalo Convention, about the close of the meeting, I was ap-
proached by a group of Pennsylvania delegates who urged me to
consider the nomination as President of the Eennsylvania w. i. A.
Mrs. Blankenburg had talked of on many times as her successor
and had fully'nsde up her mind that she would not hold the office
any longer. After consultation with Miss Shaw I agreed to take
this office, should I be elected. I confess at the time I did
not know how much of my time and strength would have to go into
this work, but it has absorbed a great deal of me this winter,
and that is my excuse and apology and reason for not having
taken any time for the collation of the Book of Recitations and
the Book for Debaters. I have some material on hand and have
looked it over once or twice, thinking I would get at it, but
the time has never been mine to do it. I am, of course, more
than ready to hand it over to any one who will undertake it and
can give them such copy as I have on hand. I am very sorry to
have delayed this publication because I think it is an immorta
ant one, although perhaps not as important as most of nsr lit-
erature Which has been issued by the Literature Committee this
year.

SUSAN B. AETKOHY FUED: so soon as I got some of the
Pennsylvania work started,in the late fall, I sent out a letter
to each of the state presidents in regard to the Susan B. Anthony
furk. I wrote a circular about which I consulted with Miss Shaw,
and although she did not feel any great hone of results from it,
she felt that I might be allowed to have some of the circulars
printed and make an effort.

I stated to the various state presidents the fact that
the bulk of the Fund of course remained to he raised, and sugu
gested the use of coin cards in connection with the circular, a
copy of which I herewith enclose. I received most discouraging
replies and only in two or three cases was there any offer of
oo-operation along this line. On writing a second letter to
these states asking how many of the coin cards they thought they
could use I failed to receive any response.

 

 B. C. #2.

I do not think it necessary here to go into detail an
to each state, but there have been no contributions at all as a
result of these suggestions of work, although I did not let the
matter drop, but followed up my first letter by later ones where
I did not receive any reply.

Some of the states feel that they have done all that
they could; Some feel that although they have done nothing as
yetthnw can do nothing just now but nmst let the matter wait
until some state work that is under way is through with. Nebras-
ke alone expreeeed the opinion that each state ought to do some-
thing each year until the Fund wee completed.

I blame myself very much because I feel thet it was
through my inability to tare the situation in hend,ee I had every
reason to believe I could, .het What might be called the psycho-
logical moment for raising this Fund was allowed to pass. I
believe surely the time will cone when Hise Anthony's neme will
be one to conjure with, but just now, although the work itself
is going on in more places andrihhmore activity then at any time
heretofore, that very fact seems to mete it impossible to raise
money for this general National rune. I expect we will take up
this National question eni discuss it both en route to Seattle
ani at the Business Committee meetings which will follow the
Convention, but I wish to mefie this much of a retort here so
that you would know that I have not this year neglectei the
work but have made e consistent effort to secure co—opwretion
in it.

In my own state of Pennsylvania, in taking the presi-
dency, I have felt that I munt devote every energy possible to
finning out the friends of the mOVement in order later to make
an appeal for the Fund. In this great state we have but 1150
members, and that is such a handful to whom to appeal that it
seemed wise to put the present strength anfl time upon the efu
fort to secure a larger membership.

Looking forward to seeing the majority of the Business
Committee at Chicago for the trip west, I remain,

Coriielly yours

My dear Miss Clay,

Of course you will not be in Lexington when this
letter reaches you, but I feel that I ourht to write it
now to avoid any possible neglect later. You have not re—

V plied to my former letter in which I enclosed one from
Louise Southgate of Covington relating to the press work.
I have now, however, another letter from or. Southgate,in
which she asks for 80 of the press articles weekly and also
for some of the National i3ationery, saying that she thinks
this will carry weight when she sends out her first letters
to editors. I am assuming therefore that you have written

to Dr. Southgate and put her in charge of the press work. I

am sending her a package of the pressfirticles and telling

heh,that I cannot send her any stationery because our stock
is low and we are not printing any now since there will
doubtless be changes on the official board at Seattle. I
suggeszfthat the official stationery of the Kentucky Equal
Rights Association would be more effective with Kentucky

editors than the National paper.

Yours most trulya
