Dear Mrs. Stone:
Thanks for your generous
offer in regard to
Mr. [Blenchard's?] Expenses
We will see him [again?]
& see that a good report
is prepared.  If he is
willing to go & especially
if he would like to go,
I think we can arrange
for the remainder of
his Expenses.  He is a 
man of culture & fine
spirit & is a real
help to our cause. The case
too is constantly growing
[upon?] him in importance.

Regards to you all from
Mrs. Bashford & Myself
Fraternally

Dear Mrs Stone.
I am in a [visit?] of work
& yet take a few minutes
to pen a few lines on
our meeting last Sunday
at Natick. It was the 
most successful meeting
for our cause by far that
I have ever held. If we
can only get an entrance into
the Mrs. on Sundays we
shall get Suffrage in where
it belongs. I shall try for
other similar [givings?].
I send a 
clipping from the Northwestern
Christian Advocate
telling of a woman of his
caste in India coming to
America to study. You can
use it in part at least.
I put in a work for you in
the Newton Transcript of last
