Denver, Colorado.

My dear Mrs. Bradford:

Perhaps you know that recently I received the “Achievement
Award” given by the Pictorial Review through a committee
composing a Board of nineteen.    As a matter of fact, this
person is put up by correspondence and a campaign is conducted
on her behalf.    At any rate, I knew nothing about it until I was 
summoned by the manager of the Pictorial review who said the
money was given because of my work for woman suffrage and for 
peace.    It was the most astounding surprise in a long life.

Of course, if there was any achievement in winning the vote, it
was collective and all the women who worked long and hard for a 
century behind 1920 share in the final victory.    I never shall
forget your brave work in Colorado and I hope that with this
$100 you will be able to find some way of bringing an added comfort.

I am giving away my $5,000 and it will call be gone by the time
you receive this letter.

Lovingly yours,

CCC:HW.

My Beloved Friend,

My heartfelt thanks to you for your loving
consideration of me in reference to the award
you have so richly earned.  The material recognition
was very opportune and the cordial
appreciation you expressed wrapped me in a mantle
of happiness.

Is there any chance that you may come to Denver
next summer when the World Federation is here? It
would be such a joy to see you.

Believe me always with Love,

Faithfully,

Mary C. C. Bradford
