Miss haura Clay,

Lexington, Kentucky.

Deer Miss Clay,

V I acknowledge with much thanks your
letter of the 3rd. containing your check for
925 00 to cover Kentucky's pledge for the
Mississippi Valley Conference. We are deep
in the work of first preparations for the
meeting, and you will appreciate the money is
one of the first requisites.

I thank you for your kind words of
appreciation for me personally.

Yes, I have already asked Miss Kate
Gordon to come to the Conference, but have had
no reply as yet. I do hope she can come.

I believe the program is going to be
a good one,and if this wicked war business does
not so distract the people that the attendance
fails utterly, we ought to have a fine meeting.

With kindest regards, I am,

Very truly yours, ]£k£ix4J2J—J
éion

Dear Miss Clay, I want to add a pa el word
to the above. I am going to be with Miss hauser
to help her with the arrangements for the Con»
ferenoe,and one of the pleasant features of the
convention to me will be meeting you again.

Mary S.Andrews.
