NAWSA General Correspondence Snow, Jane C.

Athol. Aug. 3, 1891.
Mrs. Lucy Stone - 
Dear Madam:
Yours of the 
31st ult was duly received - I should 
be most happy to assist in making 
arrangements for the convention you 
speak of - but my health will sub-admit
of my undertaking anything 
of the kind. I am always an invalid, 
just now am suffering more 
than usual, am confined indoors, and 
unable to do anything except to wait 
upon myself a little - If I could 
have the strength to help in the work 
you propose, I would do it most gladly, 
we need the meeting here, sometimes 
I think we are in heathenish darkness 
in Athol in regard to the suffrage

question, but I seem to be one who can "only stand and wait", it is all that I can do in my state of health. I regret exceedingly to be obliged to make this reply to your application for help in this direction, but I cannot do otherwise. Hoping that you will be most successful in arranging for the meetings, even if we cannot enjoy them here, I am most truly Yours in the cause
Jane C. Snow
