Dear Mrs Blackwell

I hope you will want a word
from our Federal once in a while. It is
a coming idea in suffrage work to
ask Leagues for what-it-can give.  I
will send you our Hearing as soon as
published & I hope you will give attention
to Burton  French’s  argument.  I have
never before been able to get him to
go into the merits of the case from
the constitutional point of view before
but this year he has looked into
it carefully and became our enthusiastic
supporter. When I found he had
covered this ground I [took] dropped all that 
part of the argument out of my speech
at the Hearing.
Please have three papers sent me of
issue containing this article.  You said I should
have the Journal sent me but it has not
come for six months.  I have written a number 
of letters for it & will always present it
when I am in the field speaking.
 
With best wishes.  
Sincerely yours
Clara Bewick Colby

While we must work along all lines until full suffrage is secured for all women, this
demand for Federal Suffrage based on the original Constitution of the United States adds 
dignity to our movement, and lays upon men the responsibility to secure to women their 
inheritance of liberty according to the foundation principles of our Government.
