Biggers with ' little clerk hire my: seq/s more is no use of being, in
such a hurry about the organization. She 8.1.30 does not like it

bet; 19:»? Miss- Gordon proposes to stand behind Miss Posse financially.
However, I do not think that she knows that the Oregon women went

back on their agreement to raise the money. Anyway, I am not
going; to w.~.ite her any more about it ntil she gets home mi than will
see her. Of ooors e none of th e ouostirw of which she talks need

to be settled now b :1 tie-mm people who are going to work in September
Want; to know it now.

However, i did not start to wri to you a general lettwual, " out
I wanted to tell ytm that Miss Gregg, or her Way home from Ore 3w
step-incl at Mrs. Marble’s and Mrs. Marble writes that 836- 3:1 ad 3-.
splendid visit with her. Nowltlrs. Marble waits to engage Miss Gregg
for organization during the mot-1th 01" October, mi: N 15:; Gr -gr; sayss she
does not wad-1t to promise that time to Nebraska unless the 3.1313183
Committee are willing. Now it seems, from what I can learn from the
Business Committee letters, that the majority of us :3: ink if it is
possible we would ~ite‘arter have some woman from the enfranohised states
to'help out in Oklahoma. That really gives Colt rain the preference
over Dr. Woods and. Miss Gregg. When it comes to a choice between
Miss sGregg and Dr. Woods I think the mljority of us think it is wiser
to have Dr. Woods go to Oklal‘xoma becaurzs 01'" Mrs. Woodworth. I have
therefore written Mrs. "Larble and. also Miss Gregg. I have told Mrs.
Marble if she 3.3103113.) Gregg can come to any termt for an organizing
trip f0? OCtOOeT toe-y better make that sort of an arrang glent. Miss
Grego has been in the campaign and has learned a lot oi“ things and. I
think it woui d be very wise f"01 her to go back into general organi—
zation work :or a lit le time. Then too, she is very fond of Mrs.

 

 L. C.)

Young nnd.Mre. Karble and I think it would be good for her.
told Mrs. Marble flnfi;Mien Shaw you an& I compose the sub—commitfiee
of fihe Business Conmfittee on Organization and that I am giVing her
my opiniez. That if you do not object to this she will not hear
from you, but if you think ih is not Wise to let Rise Gregg go for
October you are to write her, Mrs. Amanda J. Marble, Table Rock, Neb.,
so that she will ve+ it by August 6th. I amzvery glad to haNe Mrs.
Marble make this preposition because we will not have to appear to.be
upfifising between Dr. Wbods andluiss Gregg. Both.of them are good

My deer firs. Upton,

L Today Ireoeived your letters of Aué.lst, and the cepy
of Miss Shaw's letter. It seems it is not necessery to answer hers today,
so I shall defer it a short time, except to say that I shall certainly vote
again to give clerk hire to firs.Biggers. It seems to me the safest ans
cheapest way we can get that necessary preliminary work done, and insures
our always having a competent and interested person to keep us in touch
with what is going on.>

I am glad to have Mrs. signers oecide for us between Miss Gregg and
fir.Woods. You know T think Miss Gregg a valuable women, and do not wish to
fiisoredit her usefulness to us; but whether she is able to shake off firs.
Woodworth as much as she ought, I so not know. It is just as well to let
Dr.Woods~try her hand; and indeed I think Er. Woods has a larger knowledge
of the world. Therefore I shall not write to Mrs. Marble, and you have told
her then gives my consent to Miss Gregg's staying in Eebraska for awhile.
I am fleeeed with Miss Gregg’s loyalty in waiting to hear from Headquar-.
ters before making'en engagement.

Dr.$ooas. In the same way I an pleased with Er.toodsl inquiry. In her
case I think it not Wise to consent to her making another engagement. I do,
not believe anything can be properly done.in Oklahoma with a very Snell f

force. Dr.fioods is the only one of whom we have definite knowledue that'
, 0

she can be in Oklahoma in September ana stay there as long as we need her.

Miss Meredith is valuable; so are others we hope te set. But we have not
. _ J

 

 yet got anybody except Ira ”Big ers, and we need some one to help her . I

therefore vote to send Dr. Kooas back to Oklahoma in September, and

oer go to work at once. I have written that I do not approve of put-

For sews reasons, I wish you wcro Pore now, especially

on account of the yress work. We are just gettini

f iUUO it,
is yerfectly fascinating! I know you would be pleased on go
principles, hut particularly because of t%e answers we

and make suggestions, sOMe of whidh have been very rslpful. I am

goiNQ to send-you one or two, because thev need answering from your

standpoint.
We sant your copy of the Baltimore Minutes to your
