In part: '...I am up here to try to get the Farmers Alliance to endorse a promise to work for women's suffrage... Don't give up in despair. Itis too cruel that each and every one of us from outside the state is left to make our own way... rush around and find where you can do themost good... The General Secretary is so overworked managing you and Mrs. Hindman that he cannot possibly get out and send out the postersfor my county. What is needed is a good planning brain devoted to this campaign .....I am hoping they'll get to see the way to plan a legislative campaign by the time this month is through..."
