Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, 3 Monodnock Street, Uphams Corner, Mass. My dear Alice Stone Blackwell: It will be necessary for me to subject you to a little inconvenience - a matter I greatly regret. The Woman Citizen Corporation has not met for some time, the reason being that practically the entire stock was held by the Leslie Woman Suffrage Commission and there was not much to do except to pay deficits. At the last important meeting of the Leslie Woman Suffrage Commission we counted up the money we had left and went over the matter very carefully with Mrs. Brown. We agreed jointly that the rate of progress would not put the Citizen on a paying basis before the Leslie money would be exhausted. Mrs, Brown felt more or less optimistic about the possibility of making the Citizen self-supporting in the event that a large promotion fund could be secures. She believed that this might be done by solicitation from persons interested in such a magazine for women. The Commission authorized her to make the trial and promised that if she could secure a considerable sum. it would authorize the extension of shares of stock which would be divided in proportion to the money paid by the Commission and by Mrs. Brown has been giving almost her entire time to the business of raising money sine the first of January. She has raised, to be expended in this year, nearly $25,000 and wishes now that the plan should be worked out whereby the stock can be transferred to these people at the end of three years. She wishes to have the definite knowledge as to how much they are to get for the amount of contribution they make. A meeting of the Leslie Woman Suffrage Commission is being called for April 26th and the Commission will authorize this increase of stock. It becomes necessary, however, that the Citizen Corporation should take official action also and, therefore, I am sending to you three papers each one of which must be signed by you in the presence of a notary who will not only attest your signature, but he must also have a certificate from the Country Clerk who issued his authority as a notary. Whatever expense is Page 2 Miss Blackwell, continued. involves in getting your signature attested we will, of course, pay. The meeting is to be a merely formal one for this purpose and it is not necessary for you to attend it. It is necessary that you send a proxy which does not require a notary, a copy of which I enclose. After the increase of stockholders so that the Leslie Commission no longer owns the Citizen Corporation and it will then be necessary to have frequent meetings. It is my personal hope that among the women who have contributed there may be some would like to assume the responsibility for such a magazine and thus excuse the Leslie Commission from further responsibility concerning it. Miss Hay and I have a had a miserable winter. We both have been afflicted with bronchitis. I have had bronchial pneumonia, an abcess in the middle ear and now, for a week, I have been in bed with bronchitis. Miss Hay started with cystitis, then bronchitis, and now she has been in bed for two weeks with a very severe attack of bronchitis and pleurity. For a time she had a night nurse as well as a day nurse, but now one nurse is taking care of both of us. I have been up an hour today and in two or three days I expect to be on my feet again. I had to give up going to Paris for the Alliance Congress and even to St. Louis for the Convention of the National League of Women Voters. I hope we will not have such a winter again even if we have to go to the Mohave desert to escape it. Miss Hay and I think you for your Easter card and we are both grateful that you exist and still keep your head up. I do not think any after war period can be enjoyable and of course we ought to expect that the period after the greatest war in all history should be a little more than any other. I sometimes think I would like to slide out of it all for a couple of generations and then come back to finish my few years. I suppose I would be as much surprised and feel as out of place as George Washington would could he return to this year of 1926.

My dear Miss Blackwell: I think it would be very nice to have a review of Helen Keller's book written by you. Could you do it in 250 words? Yes, we have been keeping close tabs on the D.A.R. excitement. I have the Springfield Republican clippings and Mrs. Bailie's pamphlet, and have been in communication with Mrs. Bailie. Thank you [*Thanks to you for the first clipping.*] very much for calling my attention to the articles.

RAYMOND BROWN MANAGING DIRECTOR THE EDITORIAL OFFICE TELEPHONE ASHLAND 6770-6771 171 MADISON AVENUE, NEW YORK March 26, 1928 Miss Alice Stone Blackwell 3 Monadnock Street Boston 25, Massachusetts My dear Miss Blackwell: The latter part of April there is to be an international press exhibit in Cologne, Germany, which will have once section devoted to magazines for women. The National Council of Women, the United States branch of the International Council of Women, has asked us to take charge of getting together this woman's press exhibit, so I am collecting specimens of various kinds of magazines, general and special, for women. As the exhibit is supposed to include some historical material I am attempting to get together a little batch of the earlier magazines published for women. Mrs. Catt suggested that you might have a few single copies, unbound, of the early Woman's Journal, or some of the other magazines, such as the Revolution, Commonwealth, Woman Advocate, etc. I hate to say that this would be a loan because as you know, it is rather precarious to send material as far as Germany and hope to get it back again. Therefore I would not want you to let us have any speciments unless you happen to have duplicates.

RAYMOND BROWN 171 Madison Avenue New York, N. Y. Telephone : AShland 4---6770 - 1 April 28, 1931 Miss Alice Stone Blackwell 3 Monadnock Street Boston, Mass. My dear Miss Blackwell: At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Women's Journal this morning, we found ourselves face to face with a situation too difficult for us to be able to meet. To explain more clearly I am sending you a copy of my annual report. It tells the whole story. It makes us more sorrowful than I can express that after all these years of fine service, the magazine should have to suspend. It is the trend of the times which is responsible, and they are stronger than we are. I want you to hear about this direct from us and not by hearsay. For this reason I am writing you as soon as the action was taken. I know you will join with us in deep regret. Yours most sincerely, Gertrude Foster Brown (Mrs. Raymond Brown) Managing Director GFB:MG ANNUAL REPORT Woman Citizen Corporation April 28, 1931 Mrs. Raymond Brown Managing Director A year ago the report of the managing director showed the Woman's Journal had been making gratifying gains toward financial success. As the result of our three-year program of promotion, although our plans had been modified by necessity because of insufficient funds, we had made 100% gain in advertising revenue the last six months of 1928, a further increase of 76% in 1929, and our advertising selling plan was proving effective. With extreme generosity Mrs. A. Barton Hepburn, one of our guarantors, pledged herself to underwrite our deficit: From December 1929 to July 1930 - $25,000; from July 1930 to July 1931- $25,000, so we faced the future with considerable confidence. The first six months of 1930 showed a continued slight gain in advertising revenue, but beginning with May the business slump from which the whole world has been suffering made itself felt, increasingly. In view of the slump in order to continue the promotion of both circulation and advertising which are so essential to the growth of a magazine, in the early fall Mrs. Henry Lang of Montclair made a most generous pledge of $10,000, specifically for promotion. During the fall, therefore, we proceeded with much confidence to boom both circulation and advertising. A series of letters were planned to be sent to advertising prospects showing Distinguished Women subscribers to the magazine, beginning with Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Dwight Morrow, and other showing that most of the best known women in the United States were subscribers. Facsimiles were also given of their letters praising the Woman's Journal. This promotion proves very effective, but we were not able to continue it long, owing to financial trouble which developed. To gain new circulation some of the directors sent letters so a selected list of friends on special stationery supplied by us, which resulted in 2-1/2% returns, and gave us a number of $10 subscribers. We were in the high tide of this promotion when our generous guarantor was obliged to withdraw her pledge on account of the financial stringency which affected not only herself but other stockholders and friends and made it impossible to raise the sum necessary. Naturally promotion had to stop, and with the consent of Mrs. Lang, the remainder of her pledge was used to meet the ordinary deficit of publication. [*Mrs Raymond Brown*] - 2 - In January 1931 the directors tried to raise not only the $19,000 outstanding on which we had counted for expenses till July this year, but sufficient to meet the deficit for the entire year 1931. As a result, a total of $5455 has been paid in, with further pledges of $700. This month of January showed the lowest ebb of our income. Advertising dropped 40% from January 1930. February and March were nearly as bad. With April came a sharp turn for the better, and April advertising income surpassed that of either 1930 or 1929. May will show the highest advertising income that a single edition of the magazine has ever carried, but still less than 50% of the advertising necessary to support the Journal. In the meantime the magazine was only kept going, month after month, through certain payments made by guarantors, as appended. A frank statement to guarantors and stockholders of the desperate situation of the magazine was made with an appeal for $100 subscriptions, and a sufficient amount was raised so publication could be planned to complete the first six months of 1931. Even this has only been possible by reducing the staff including the entire circulation department, through voluntary reduction of salaries of the few who remain, and by cutting off every expenditure except the editorial expenses of publication. With the resources on hand we cannot continue publication beyond the June number. To continue publication even with a possible increased advertising revenue, the magazine for at least two years must have a minimum of $35,000 or $40,000 a year, and to provide for the kind of promotion which is essential for growth, at least $50,000 is necessary. The past ten years have seen many mergers in the business world, and increased difficulty in continuing a small isolated business. The amount of capital which seems necessary to invest before a business can be made to pay has been constantly increasing. Advertisers are concentrating more than ever on mass publications. Also, the Woman's Journal has to meet a fairly widespread feeling on the part of many women who should be its supporters that a publication for women, outside of the domestic field, is not necessary. We do not agree with this viewpoint. While many of the injustices and inequalities which existed during the early days of its publication have been done away with, we believe there is great need of publication to stimulate the interest of women in public affairs, and to express their viewpoint. The magazine belongs to its stockholders. The question is before them - can we continue its publication and how?

It is good of you to be so understanding and sympathetic. As for thanks, they really should be reversed- mine certainly go to you. Yes, June is the last issue -- barring a miracle. I think we shall have room for all that you have sent. Certainly the notice about the old volumes will go in, and the book review is already in type.

I don't know what to say. We'd like your file to finish out ours at Radcliffe & to replace some very worn copies Mrs. Brown sent us. But if you have some other place to put Mrs Catt's set, you do what you think best. We need the index of the last years of the publication. Do let me know about the Smith idea. Mrs Park says she'll pay the express if you are short of funds. I told her Mrs Catt had said two years ago that she had a file of the Citizen that we could have when she was done with it. That is evidently the file you have. She wanted me to be sure to have it microfilmed when the Journal file is done. And now here's a request for your name -- no work. We are organizing a committee where names can appear At The Stonewall Chilmark Martha's Vineyard, Mass. on the letterhead when we send out an appeal for funds for microfilming the files of the Woman's Journal-Citizen-Journal 1870-1931. Mrs Slade talked about it when she was here & approves of the plan. We'll ask Mrs Park as chairman to invite Miss Perkins - Miss Breckinridge, Judge Allen - Mrs Gellhorn - Edwards - & so on. Maybe we'll ask Mrs Roosevelt. May we have your name? Come & see us sometime. Affectionately, Edna S Edna Stantial THE PRESIDENT AND THE TRUSTEES OF SMITH COLLEGE have received THE WOMAN'S COLUMN.

Dear Friend; Nearly three years ago Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt proposed that a group of women set for themselves the task of raising a fund to finance the microfilming of the complete set of The Woman's Journal- Woman Citizen, to secure for future generations the historical record of the struggle for women's freedom and their use of that freedom through the first ten years of their enfranchisement. Started in 1870 by Lucy Stone, it was carried on after her death in 1893 by her husband and her daughter, Alice Stone Blackwell. In 1917 The Woman's Journal, the Woman Voter and the Woman Citizen joined forces as The Woman Citizen and continued publishing important news about women's progress. In the last years of its existence the magazine again took the old name, The Woman's Journal. In her letter of May 18, 1943 Mrs. Catt wrote: "We must do something right away about perpetuating The Woman's Journal and i shall try to get an estimate from some duplicating company of the probable cost of such a project. I shall count on you and the members of the National American Woman Suffrage Association Board to help me organize the committee. Those who realize that the movement for women's progress grew up in a century and won its victory, will recognize the historical importance of this project and will want to have a part in it. If it is ever to be done it will have to be done pretty soon because the paper on which the Journal is printed is rapidly falling to pieces. The Woman's Journal is history - good history - and we must record it for all time." The Committee has been organized as Mrs. Catt had planned and we are seeking a fund of $2,500 for a microfilm which will be a lasting copy of The Woman's Journal and which will be deposited in the Carrie Chapman Catt Collection in the Library of Congress. Happily this sum is about half of that quoted to Mrs. Catt in 1943. Some of you who will receive this appeal worked along with Mrs. Catt and the Blackwells during the long period when the suffrage movement was unpopular; others of you are descendants of the men and women who gave so much of themselves to the cause they held so dear; but all of us have enjoyed the fruits of their tireless labor. We are not asking for large sums, but rather do we hope to have a great many token gifts from men and women all over the country who realize what an important record we are trying to preserve. Checks or money-orders should be made payable to The Woman's Journal Fund and sent to the Treasurer, Mrs. Edna L. Stantial, 21 Ashmont St. Melrose 76, Massachusetts. Sincerley yours, Maud Wood Park, Chairman Edna L. Stantial Treasurer [* amt not needed*] [*Harvard to do micro [?] of Commercial*] TO PERPETUATE THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL AND THE WOMEN CITIZEN THIS MICROFILM IS PRESENTED TO THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS IN LOVING MEMORY OF MRS. CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT GREAT LEADER OF WOMEN May 15, 1949 May 15, 1949. In 1943 Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt proposed that a group of women set for themselves the task of raising a fund to finance the microfilming of the complete file of THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL - WOMAN CITIZEN, to secure for future generations the historical record of the struggle for women8s freedom and their use of that freedom through the first ten years of their enfranchisement. Started in 1870 by Lucy Stone, it was carried on after her death in 1893 by her husband and her daughter, Alice Stone Blackwell. In 1917 THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL merged with the WOMAN CITIZEN which continued the important news about women'[8]s progress In the last years of its publication the magazine again took the old name, THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL. In her letter of May 18, 1943,[m] Mrs. Catt wrote: "We must do something right away about perpetuating THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL. I shall count on the members of the Board of the National American Woman Suffrage Association and our many friends to help me organize the committee. Those who realize that the movement for women's progress grew up in a century and won its victory will recognize the historical importance of this project and will want to have a part in it. If it is ever to be done it will have to be done pretty soon because the paper on which it[i]is printed is rapidly falling to pieces. The statement I made in 1917* is just as true today. THE WOMEN'S JOURNAL is history -- good history --and we must record it for all time." * In 1917 Mrs. Catt wrote: "There can be no over-estimating the value to the suffrage cause of THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL in its long and vivid career. It has gone before and it has followed after; it has pointed the way and closed the gaps; it has been history maker and history recorder for the suffrage cause. The suffrage success of today is not conceivable without the WOMEN'S JOURNAL part in it. But it is easily conceivable that without THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL suffrage would be lagging behind its present record." And in 1936: "No words can express the gratitude I feel for the service Miss Blackwell and her dear mother and father gave to the woman suffrage movement through THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL. Without it women would still be unenfranchised." -2- The Committee was organized September 8,1947 as Mrs. Catt had planned and a sufficient portion of the fund was raised in time for the public announcement of the plan on September 14th, the 90th birthday of Alice Stone Blackwell. What a fine testimonial of appreciation and affection it was to have Miss Blackwell know during her lifetime that the historical record which her family did so much to secure had been perpetuated in honor of her dear friend and great leader of women, Carrie Chapman Catt, for deposit in the Library of Congress. Many of those who contributed to the fund worked along with Mrs. Catt and the Blackwells during the long period when the suffrage movement was unpopular; others are descendants of the men and women gave so much of themselves to the cause they held so dear; but all have enjoyed the fruits of their tireless labor. Appended is a list of the sponsors who made this microfilm possible. Maud Wood Park, Chairman Edna Lamprey Stantial Secretary-Treasurer.

Telephone: Durham 41 M July 2, 1952 Mrs. Guy W Stantial 21 Ashmont Street Melrose 76, Massachusetts Dear Mrs. Stantial: I thank you for your kind letter of June 23, offering files of The Woman's Journal. I shall be happy to have as complete a file or the paper as you have available and it will be quite convenient for us to pick them up at your residence some time after September 7th as we drive to Boston and Cambridge occasionally. I am very glad that there is a prospect of my having a file of the Journal as [it] I wish to refer to it in a book I am trying to finish. I have plenty of room for keeping the files and it will be very convenient to have them at hand. I find it hard to spend the necessary time at the Boston Public Library. I am grateful to know about the painting, "Caritas" and shall look it up when I am in Cambridge. I shall be happy to look over the Women's Rights Collection and shall think fondly of the brave women who did so much for the women's cause. If you will send me a card saying when you have the journals ready for me, I will relieve you of them as soon as I can. It must be an overwhelming task to get them distributed. Your sincerely, Agnes Ryan Miss Agnes Ryan * Mill Road * Durham, New Hampshire W. Journal August 20, 1958 Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Dear Mr. Bliss: We shipped to you, express collect, on June 27th, a carton of the Woman Citizen-Woman's Journal, which we had promised as soon as we could get the magazines sorted. I hope these will prove a valuable addition to the library. In the carton I also put copies of some of the books on Woman's Rights, especially those affecting the women of the west. You will probably not remember that I promised to send you any duplicates, at the time I visited the library in 1951. When a list is made of the duplicate volumes we now hold on the general question of woman's rights, I shall submit a copy to you so that you may check it against your present holdings. I shall appreciate a receipt for these documents for filling with the material of the Suffrage Archives Committee. Please note in your records that the Woman's Journal-Woman Citizen are a gift of the Alice Stone Blackwell Memorial Committee. Cordially yours, Trustee. W Journal August 20, 1958 Summer address: Quitsa Lane Chilmark, Mass. Swarthmore College Library Swarthmore College, Pa. Dear Friends: As requested by you, we shipped you on June 27th as many copies of the Woman Citizen-Woman's Journal, as we found in our files which you do not at present have in your library holdings. I meant at the time to write you to ask that a receipt for these magazines be sent to me so that there would be a record in the archives of the gifts of these books and papers. Please note that the presentation is made in the name of the Alice Stone Blackwell Memorial Committee. Cordially yours, Trustee Mrs. Guy W. Stantial 21 Ashmont Street Melrose 76, Massachusetts THE TRUSTEES OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY ACKNOWLEDGE, WITH THANKS AND APPRECIATION, YOUR GIFT OF the final volume of Woman's Journal, January-May, 1917; and three issues of its successor, The Woman Citizen.

Both of these referred to my mother. I wonder if you could let me know the date or number of the issue of the "Woman's Journal" from which the clipping was taken and also from just what reports the quotation was taken. If you have this information it would be very much appreciated. Sincerely, [*Arnulf Ueland*] AU:p [*The Woman Citizen Feb 28 1920 p. 915 H.T.
