Lindsey Caroline Bartlett Crane Ellis Meredith Mabel Craft Deering Eliza Calvert Hall Reginald Wright Kauffman Assistant Editor Henry Bailey Stevens Editor-in-Chief Alice Stone Blackwell Managing Editor Agnes E. Ryan September 24, 1915 Dear Miss Danielson: I am writing to you today particularly to remind you that we have extended the time to January 1 for each State to get 1000 new readers of the Journal. The plan has proved very successful. And we are all delighted to find that suffrage interest in practically every state has been greatly stimulated. State Presidents, League Presidents, Organizers, Workers in various departments commend the plan, and are eager to help increase the number of Efficient Suffragists. Speaking of the success of the plan, I wonder if you realize that from May 1 to September 14 (the dullest season of the year) we have added 6378 new paid subscribers to our list? Do you realize that these came in a few at a time and that the good showing is entirely due to the effort of individual workers? I wish I could tell every single worker how much we appreciate every single subscription! Will you help me pass the word on and will you do all in your power to have the work go on? If you believe that the Journal is valuable as an educator, as an asset in suffrage work - as I know you do - you will not need urging from me. Yours Sincerely, Agnes E Ryan AER*MH New York, May 25th, 1915. Miss Ruutz-Rees invites you to lunch with her on Tuesday, June 1st, at 1:30 P.

When such a question is presented in the state of Connecticut I will cast my ballot in favor of women voting. I shall vote against the Mondell Amendment.

I am planning for a band concert on the Park for Aug 22nd or 29th whichever date will be most convenient for you & Dr Harris - I prefer the 22nd. It is not easy to do suffrage work at this time of the year, so many of our league are out of town & I have been very busy with company. Let me hear as soon as possible. I hope to be able to hold a neighborhood meeting in [?] first week in Sept. at which I shall want you. Sincerely yours - M.C.B. Robinson Dear Miss Danielson: I am to organize a league Thurs. afternoon at the home of Miss Susan Pendleton in Hebron. I know this is outside your county but I am wondering if you can not come down and help me. The meeting is set for 3 o'clock and I have to get from there to North Granby for a meeting that night. I could do the first part of the meeting all right but it would help a lot if you could be there and stay and help them finish up. It leaves such a dissatisfied feeling to leave one burry away. Sincerely, Emily Pierson Waterbury, Tues. A.M. P.S. I'd get out of the N. Granby meeting but I have to drive up. E.P. Danielson. Sept 11 - 1917 My dear Miss Danielson. Have had a talk with Mr Frinko he says, the board voted to charge all, as we have spoken for a booth, at 3 dollars for two days. Mrs Sheppard offered us the tent my board think it better to keep to our booth inside, as it is the time of year when it is apt to be stormy & cold. We also think it is better for each league to pay their own expenses. If you have the regalia & bags from the headquarters, we will take them when you are through with them. I can run up for town after your fair is over. Hope to see you at Woodstock next week & talk over other plans. It is difficult for me to write as you see. Cordially yours - Marnida C.

Dear Madam: Yours of the 11th of August with reference to a plank in the Republican platform advocating full suffrage for women, duly received. I did not answer your letter because of absence from home and also from the fact that this matter is one to be determined by our State Convention which meets in New Haven on September 9th and 10th, and will come before the Convention upon a recommendation made by a Committee on Resolutions consisting of thirty five members appointed from the different districts from the state. Unless I am requested by you not to do so, I shall present your letter to the Chairman of that Committee to be considered at its meeting in New Haven on Wednesday afternoon of next week.

Aug 11th 1914 Dear Miss Danielson, I am so encouraged by your kind letter, concerning funds for the campaign states and gifts of silver or gold ornaments or pieces. This last idea struck me so forcibly as nearly every woman has a few silver or gold articles - too good to be throw away, or given to careless people, [yet?] no particular use to herself. Let us send them to the "melting pot". I understand how new the work is in your county, but believe the women will respond and will want to be in this movement. I am in Buffalo for a few days but will be in New Haven by Aug 15th and hope to hear from you later as to success of your endeavor, Cordially yours. Emma Winner Rogers. P.S.

The National Women's Suffrage Association sends out an urgent appeal for funds to help our sister states in their struggle to win votes for women this Fall. Speakers and literature are being sent to their aid, and we are called on to make August 15, sacrifice day, in which money and valuables shall be given to the Campaign fund. Cannot each league raise from $10 to $100, and collect gold and silver ornaments and trinkets? The mint agrees to put these into the melting pot and return them as coin to the Campaign Committee. Plan quickly ways of raising money, making an appeal to each member, or calling a meeting, and soliciting gifts of money or gold and silver trinkets. Send money to State Treasurer, Mrs. M. Toscan Bennett, 55 Pratt Street, Hartford, Conn., marked, "For the National Campaign Fund." Send gold and silver trinkets to National Campaign Committee, City Hall Square, Chicago Illinois. Cordially yours, Emma Winner Rogers (Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers), Chairman Campaign Committee for Connecticut. Thank you for the card - Here is our program! This tells about the meeting! Shall I tell you about the rest of it? No the reason I can't tell you about the work is work - Aug. 7. we all take the rest cures! This week we are at Beach Park by the sea that is between 12 and 5 A.M.! Really the work has been exceedingly successful. I wish we might see your kindly countenance at a meeting. It always helped. We do so need some one to be a "reel lady at our meetings! The girls send their best love. Thanking you always for your kindness to us and to me - Esther Lee. Miss Rosamond Danielson Putnam Heights.

My dear Miss Danielson:- Your very welcome letter of the 15th. inst. received, and am very grateful to you for your kindness in offering your mother's car for the Willimantic girls to ride in, and all the girls extend their thanks to you for your generosity. Am glad to learn you are planning for a Suffrage Conference June 12th., and I took the matter up with the girls and probably four or five will come to Putnam,as I presume there is where it will be held. If we left Willimantic at 12:15 P. M. would we reach Putnam in time for the Conference? We all have to work Saturday morning, but could make that noon express nicely. I trust some of the ladies in Putnam can see their way clear to enter the parade in cars, as the more we have the better. When we see you in Putnam we will discuss the parade more thoroughly, make arrangements for decorations, etc. I hope sometime we can have a League in Willimantic and in that way we could urge Suffrage stronger in this city. Hoping to hear from you soon again, I remain, Respectfully yours, 74 Park St. May [?.] [S?????.] S. Canterbury June 2, 1915 Miss R. Danielson; I would be very glad to attend the meeting at your house, but f[???] it is impossible for me to come. Respectfully, S. E. Speerli WILLIAMANTIC, CONN. May 12 1915 Miss Rosamund Danielson, Putnam Heights, Putnam, Conn. My dear Miss Danielson:- Received your very welcome letter and am more than pleased to learn you are willing to help participate in the Old Home Week Parade. It is very kind of you to take such an interest in this matter. Would say, the Parade is on Thursday, June 24th. We are having some difficulty in securing an automobile for that day, as the garage owners will not rent a car without their chauffeur driving same, and individual car owners voice the same sentiment. If you would be willing to drive your car to Williamantic and have a few of the [*Williamantic*] Suffragists ride with you, it would be greatly appreciated. That is the only way we can see where Williamantic girls would be represented. If you find it inconvenient to drive your car to Williamantic, we probably might rent a car from the garage and of course, we would have to use the garage chauffeur. We want you to come any way, whether in your automobile or not, as we have counted on you greatly for this event. In case you bring the car with you, we will stand any expense that might accrue on the trip and during the day. Trusting you will not think I am asking too much and hoping to hear from you soon again, I remain, Respectfully yours, 74 Park St. May A. Sugrue Willimantic, Conn., May 8, 1915. Miss Rose Danielson, Putnam Heights, Conn. My dear Miss Danielson:- Several of the young ladies interested in Suffrage in Willimantic are planning to have an automobile float in the Old Home Week parade in June. Old Home Week beings June 21st. for one week. Am writing to know if you would be willing to come to Willimantic for the parade and ride in the automobile, as we all would be delighted to have you. Another thing, we want a lady to chauffeur the car and thought possibly if you run a car, you might be willing to help us out in that way. If any of the ladies in Putnam and vicinity interested in Suffrage would like to participate in the parade, we would greatly appreciate it. Of course, we want to decorate the car with Suffrage banners, flags, etc. Do you think we can rent those from the headquarters in Hartford? As Suffrage is not very strong in this city, it will be a great surprise to the community to witness this demonstration, so the more cars we have, the better. Trusting you will not think me presumptuous in this matter, and that I will hear from you favorably, I am, Respectfully yours, Address: #74 Park St. Willimantic, Conn. May A. Sugrue March 13, 1915. My dear Miss Danielson: This week Mr. Backus of Andover who was pledged has withdrawn his support and we feel somewhat worried about his brother of Thompson. Would it be possible for you to call on Mrs. Backus and see if she would do all in her power to hold his pledge. We are counting a great deal on the support of the wives of the Representatives in many cases. I think it would be worth while to see Mrs. Hall of Plainfield and Mrs. Glazier of Hampton, unless either is actively opposed to suffrage. Yours sincerely, S. Luabella Sanders Miss Rosamond Danielson, Putnam, Conn. February 28, 1915. My dear Miss Danielson:- I spoke to you last night of the Vice-President of the Hampton League, Miss Gladys Hyde. Perhaps she will be able to come Wednesday. Your county stands very well at present, although there is no one from Ashford. Will you make an effort to secure a representative woman there? Mrs. Bartlett offered to help if we were all rushed and I am writing asking her to take care of Killingly and Sterling. Very sincerely yours, S. Luabella Sanders Miss Rosamund Danielson, Putnam, Conn. My dear Miss Danielson: Absolutely no use. Have truly canvassed the women. I find them comfortably interested, but not able to take the trip to Hartford. So dear Lady, you go up, and win - for the country - We'll be sorry then - that we were not there to see it. I do wish that I might see a "loop-hole"; but it looks very solid - for me to go. It is a bit humiliating that things are as they seem to be - Frankly, I don't know "what I am going to do about it" - My splendid enthusiasm of last fall is so suppressed that it helps but little. But we shall win, even in Connecticut. Am ever so sorry to be such a disappointment. Cordially yours, Grace Spalding Danielson, Conn., Feb. 27th 1915.

My dear Mrs. Bartlett: As Chairman of the Connecticut Delegation at the Convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association at Nashville, Tennessee, November 12th to 19th, and with the unanimous approval of the Delegation, I pledged $300 from Connecticut for the Support of the Budget for 1914-15, of the National, which the Convention (and Connecticut as an integral part of the Convention) had voted to accept. The changes in the National Constitution, also consumated at this Convention, makes Connecticut once more an Affiliatd member, and restores the DUES to the old ten cent a member basis, compulsory to be paid on or up to 1500 members, and optional payment from that number to 5000 members. i.e. Connecticut MUST pay this year as dues to the National $150, and may pay up to $500 if it wishes a representation of as many as 50 Delegates at the next Convention. This arrangement by no means supplies enough funds for the National Treasury to meet the Budget accepted by the Convention, of about $24,000. Pledges of about $8,000 were made at the Convention, of which Connecticut's pledge of $300, not a large proportion, is a part, and is entirely separate from the dues which will be met by the Connecticut Treasury direct. As the State is already taxed to provide for its campaign and legislative work I am sending out this letter, to give all who believe in, and wish to support the work of the National Woman Suffrage Association, a chance to subscribe. Will you please send me as much as possible towards this pledge? Kindly put the money or check and pledge card in the enclosed addressed envelope at your earliest convenience, and oblige Yours fraternally, Grace G. Seton Date, ....................19.......

My dear Miss Danielson: You probably know about the deputation that is going to Washington on May 9th from all over the United States to present the resolution to Congress. I am the chairman of the deputation and shall be most disappointed if we do not have a large representation from our state. The parade bids fair to be very lovely. It is to be headed by the flower pageant, which I hear is to be one of the most beautiful ever presented in this country, then there is the trained chorus which will sing "The March of the Women" on the Capitol steps before the resolutions are presented. Do make an effort to come if you possibly can, as I am sure it will not only be worth while from our point of view, but I think it is enormously important from the point of view of the Federal amendment. The Congressional Union and Congressional Committee are co-operating to afford us hospitality, but I should know immediately if you wish to be entertained. I shall be at 512 Fifth Ave., New York City, until Thursday, May 7th, after that at "The New Willard," Washington, D. C. Very sincerely yours, Grace G. Seton My dear Miss Danielson: I thank you very much for your kind invitation to join the Conn. Suffrage demonstration on May 2. I had expected to do so, but since we are going to live in Mass. & that is now a real live campaign state, I decided I must go to Boston instead - and so attend the state convention also. I would like very much to see the [Startford?] parade but will have to be content with one. I hope it will be a great success and help wake up some of the sleepy ones. Sincerely yours Jessie C Saunders 123 [Friedad Av.?] Springfield Mass Apr 30- RHETA CHILDE DORR, EDITOR ELIZABETH C. HARRIS, BUSINESS MANAGER THE SUFFRAGIST WEEKLY PAPER OF THE CONGRESSIONAL UNION FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE Editorial and Business Offices 1416 F STREET N. W., WASHINGTON, D.C. April 23, 1914. Dear Suffragist: We are sending you under separate cover a sample copy of "The Suffragist", the weekly paper of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage. We hope after reading it carefully you will decide to become a subscriber both for yourself and for your organization. We take the liberty of giving you a few facts about the paper and to point out reasons why you cannot afford to do without it. The Suffragist was established last November by the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, whose headquarters are in Washington, D. C. the center of all national political action. THE SUFFRAGIST reports in full the news week by week of the progress of Suffrage in Congress. it reports all details of the bill; it gives detailed accounts of hearings before Congressional Committees; it describes deputations to the President. All such matters disposed of in a few paragraphs in the daily press, are given a full description in the columns of "The Suffragist." Incidentally this paper keeps the women of the country informed as to Congressional action on all measures relating to the interests of women and children. Women who are accustomed to thinking of the state legislature as the body to which they must look for reform measures, etc., will be astonished at the amount of legislation undertaken by Congress, and how much of it directly involves the welfare of women and young children. What do you know about the provisions of the Federal Child Labor Law; what do you know of the progress of this measure? The Eight Hour Law for the women of the District; -what about it and how does it work? You may be considering an eight hour law in your own state. The Safety at Sea Bill; The Vocations Commission; The Children's Bureau; how are they faring at the present time in Congress? Without THE SUFFRAGIST you cannot keep informed of these national matters. The Daily press hardly alludes to them. Attached to the editorial page of the paper you will find a subscription blank. Fill it out and return it to THE SUFFRAGIST, at 1416 F St., Washington, D. C. Sincerely yours, Elizabeth C. Harris Business Manager H:C The Suffragist 4-23-14 Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association HEADQUARTERS: 55-57 PRATT STREET, HARTFORD TELEPHONE CHARTER 6217 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MRS. THOMAS N.

I regret that it will be absolutely impossible for me to speak at the January meeting of your League. I have every date in January taken and have had for some time. I should have answered your letter earlier, but I have been going through the enormous pile of mail which accumulated during the Convention, and finally gave up in despair in answering the important ones first and now I am taking them just as they come, and answering them as rapidly as possible. If I hade a date free to come to you, I would do so, but in October I promised the New York State people to give them the month of January for campaign work and the State of New Jersey two weeks, and I am having the whole time filled in. I have no spare time to give anywhere in the North before the latter part of March. Perhaps another year I shall be able to come to you.

Very cordially, Mary A Smith Office Secretary. Mrs. Rosamond Danielson, putnam, Conn. Miss Smith 4 - 28 - 13 [Connecticut Men's League for Woman Suffrage letterhead] Miss Rosamond Danielson. My dear Miss Danielson:- The enclosed letter explains itself. Up to the present time we have representatives in the following Windham Co. town, Killingly. Kindly send us names at your earliest convenience of men you think would serve in the remaining towns [?] oblige Very truly yours, A. S. G. Taylor, Sec'y. 57 Pratt St. Hartford, Conn. 9/25/1914 Per EPC 55 Pratt Street, Hartford, Conn. The Men's League for Woman Suffrage asks your co-operation in a state-wide movement for the advancement of the cause in the coming campaign. To that end it is proposed to invite those who sympathize with the movement in the 168 towns of the state to form the "Committee of 168", which will assist the league locally in ascertaining the stand taken by each candidate for the legislature of 1915 on the question of equal suffrage. The candidates for previous legislatures have been written to by women in the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association, and only slight attention has been paid to these letters from non-voters. It is believed that much more weight will be given to communications from this committee of men voters, representing every town in the commonwealth. We have reason to belive that you are sympathetic with the cause. While no publicity will be given the names of those who are on the committee, it is of great importance that each town be represented. There will be no dues and no expense for the committee. The work will be done largely at the headquarters of the league. Kindly indicate on enclosed form whether you will serve on this proposed committee or not. If for any reason you find it impossible to serve, kindly give us the name of some suitable voter in your town, who, in your opinion, would be willing to accept the honor. Yours for the Cause, Secretary, Connecticut Men's League for Woman Suffrage. Marshall J. Frink, Pres. Joseph B. Stetson, Sec'y. William R. Thurber, Treas.

My dear Madam: I am in receipt of your letter of the 2nd instant and in reply thereto beg to advise that as soon as the Committee can be called together, one of the members being absent from the city, a favorable report will probably be made on the Bristow Resolution, as I have no reason to believe that any member of the Committee has changed his views since joining in the former report. Yours very truly, C S Thomas N. Hampton Conn Jan. 30 1914 Miss Danielson: We have a Ladies Aid Society, president Mrs. Henry Clapp. I don't think it would do you any good to talk suffrage question here no one interested in such a thing. How did you get my name Kate A. Thompson Miss Rosmond Dainilson Putnam Heights Putnam Conn 35 Oxford St Worcester Oct 13. My dear Miss D. I hope you & Mrs. Bartlett are surely going in the Parade and wish you would go with Mrs G. Our headquarters in Boston is at the Hotel Lenox, cor Exeter & Boylston at the invitation of the proprietor. I am afraid no one is going from Southbridge or Dudly - I do wish those places could be represented. If there is no one from either place, you & Mrs B had better represent them & carry their banners. However if Conn. wishes you to represent that state I mustn't insist on anything else. I hope you have [signed?] the Dudley canvassing and that the results are satisfactory Cordially yours Camilla E Whitcomb The Consumers' League of Connecticut OFFICERS President, Rockwell Harmon Porter, Hartford. 1st Vice President, Henry W.

My dear Miss Danielson: We are working up an educational conference for our annual meeting, and hope to hold it in New Britain. In order to make it successful, it is necessary to secure the co-operation of the board of education, and I am invited by its chairman to appear before the board at its next meeting and present the proposition to its members and ask for the appointment of a committee to co-operate with us. Now this meeting comes at 4.30 P.M. on Friday, the 8th of October, the very day when I was to speak to your suffrage association. Yet I don't see how I can refuse this opportunity because the next meeting of the board wll not be until in November, which will be too late for us to do anything. Please let me know if you can change the date of my lecture to you. I hate to miss the opportunity of coming to Putnam and hope you can make some other arrangement at the same time that I am very sorry to put you to this trouble. Very sincerely yours, Mary C. Welles MOUNT HOLYOKE COLLEGE. SOUTH HADLEY, MASSACHUSETTS OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT September 15, 1915. Miss Rosamond Danielson, Putnam Heights, Putnam, Connecticut. My dear Miss Danielson: Your cordial invitation to speak for the Putnam Equal Franchise League in April reached me on my return from California. I greatly appreciate your invitation to have me as one of your lecturers and wish I dared accept it, but I already have a heavier program for the year outside the college than I ought to keep in addition to the demands within it. I wish that I were able to say yes, for I am interested in both causes, [of] Equal Franchise and Education. Believe me, with the hope that I may have the pleasure of welcoming you again to the College, Cordially yours, Mary E.

I will see that you have sample copies and plenty of subscription blanks. Will you make an effort to get as many subscriptions as possible on the spot ? This is really the best way to make sure of them. We have quite a lot of the little paper flags and shall be glad to sell them to you for 25¢ a doz.

Webster [* 188 Bishop St. New Haven. *] Dear As state chairman for Connecticutt am responsible for the appointment of a congressional chairman in each district and for the organization of local groups of women in each party. All womans clubs, church societies, councils, etc. are urged to join the party as groups, all the groups in one locality uniting for mass meetings and other general work. Each group ay decide on its own membership fees, usually 1 or 2 cents, its officers and preferred line of activity. The dues of the group, which are $5. and sustaining membership fees of [$]1 less the dues of the group itself, should be paid in to me. The $5 dues are turned in to the National Treasurer, the sustaining membership dues are retained for local and state work. The rapid spread of the Women's Peace Party in Chicago, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington makes me hope that our Connecticut women will take this opportunity to enroll themselves at the side of peaceful settlements of international disputes. May I hope that you will be interested in forming groups and enrolling sustaining members in your town. [I] want to call your attention to the marked paragraphs in the enclosed circular, which show how broad our membership may become. Sincerely yours, [* ?Josepha Witney.*] [* I enclose a copy in case you would pass it on to some friend. In case your [?can] interest some one I should be glad to send more circulars & information. Groups are being formed already here in New Haven, In Bridgeport, & Greenwich - & I am gratified to find so much interest. This makes me hope there may be some in Putnam also.*] My dear Miss Danielson- This morning I found that it would be possible to use the W.C.T.U. rooms on Wednesday afternoon so told Mrs. Gager you would be over there. The expense will be about a dollar. Everyone seems quite enthusiastic (that is, the non-antis, you know) so you may have more than those six, after all. Very sincerely, [Bernice?] Williams.

When I returned to the train, my friend there said she believed you had gone thro but she did not realize until too late that it might have been [?]. It rained so hard after I got here that I could not send a letter to the station. I am very very sorry to have missed you and to have inconvenienced you. I shall be glad if you care to go to Newport.

Woodward June 15th Woman Suffrage Parade At Hartford, Conn. Saturday, May 2, 1914, 3 P.M. Organized by the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association Headquarters: 55-57 Pratt Street, Hartford, Conn. Telephone Charter 6217 Head Marshall, Nurses Miss P. Webster Putnam, Conn. April 14, 1914 To the Trained Nurses of Connecticut: On the afternoon of Saturday, May 2nd, a great woman suffrage parade and pageant is to be held in Hartford. This is part of a nation-wide demonstration, which is to take place on that date in every state in the Union in support of granting votes to women. If you believe in votes for women your presence is important. The enormous appeal to the eye and to the imagination which such a demonstration makes is not limited to the capital city, but will penetrate to everky part of the state. Also, there is the spiritual uplift and inspiration that comes from marching shoulder to shoulder for an ideal. No group of women are in a position to know the needs of the enfranchisement of women better than nurses. Let us not forget the opposition with which the world met the registration of nurses, and the elevation of our profession to a profession. But for the work of such earnest suffragists as Florence Nightengale and Clara Barton, nursing might today still be in the Smiry Camp clans. Today Lavinia Dock and Lillian Wald are not too busy for suffrage. The nurses of the state are to march together in uniform and cap. Won't you help us to make our deputation the most dignified and impressive in the entire parade? Please send us by return mail your pledge to march. In case you decide to come at the last minute you can do so, but it will be easier for you and for me if you send in your name and now and receive full directions. Your sincerely, P.

To the members of the Parade Committee; In our experience with press work we have found that nothing is more helpful in getting the papers to publish full accounts than sending them photographs. Will you help the parade work in this way, by letting us have your photograph for publication? Will you send us photographs of other prominent suffragists in your town? It may be worth hundreds of dollars to the parade and stimulate other women to the like courage. The papers will often print, with a picture, notices which they would otherwise refuse. We have just had this paper printed for us in the parade work. Would you like us to send you some? Hoping soon to receive you picture and as many others as you can collect, I am, Sincerely yours, Mabel C.

My dear Miss Danielson: I am enclosing a letter just sent to the presidents or secretaries of every league in the state. The plan, which must be kept secret within the Executive Board on account of our friends, the Antis, is to have a petition presented through its Representatives from every one of the one hundred sixty-seven towns in the state. Individuals will have to cover most of the towns which are not organized, and it is hoped that each country chairman will be able to make herself responsible for a petition of at least one hundred names from every town in her country. This is a tremendous piece of work, but it will be very impressive if we can carry it through. It may be necessary to have the organizers go to some of the towns in the unorganized counties next fall, but certainly we ought not to use up our resources in that way if it is possible to avoid it.

Dear At the last meeting of the Executive Board it was decided that the petitions which are to be presented to the Legislature next spring shall be presented by towns. There are in the state one hundred sixty-seven towns. There should be at least one thousand names from each of the larger ones, and as many as possible form the smaller ones. Each town's petition will be presented through its Representatives. This will add much to the value of the petition, as few Representatives will be inclined to vote against a measure for which a good number of their constituents have petitioned. If you already have on your petition names from people in nearby towns you will simply have to say in presenting it - a petition from the town of . . . . . . . with the exception of . . . . . . names, which are form either towns in Connecticut. From now on however secure on your petition only the names of your townspeople. If you care to, keep another sheet to gather up scattering names of people form other towns. From now on only sheets like the enclosed should be used. If you have on hand any different sheets, whether filled in or not, they should be sent in to Hartford headquarters. As soon as each sheet is filled out it should be mailed to me immediately at 55 Pratt Street. Here the sheets will be kept on file under the name of your town. Try so far as you can to keep track of the number of names you send in. You can however get the number from me at any time. It may be well for you to keep a list of the names of any people who sign your petition who may work up later as league members Unless you so request, no copy will be kept at Hartford of the names which appear on the petition. As there ae only fifty-two of the one hundred and sixty-seven towns in the state organized as many of the leagues as possible shoul[d] volunteer to be responsible for nearby towns. If you are willing to do this kindly send on the names of such towns. Under the present plan of presenting petitions by towns it will be a very serious matter if any town fails to present a petition of dignified size. On the other hand it will be a striking evidence of the suffrage sent[i]ment throughout the state to present to the legislature.

Therefore I have been instructed to send the sheets, where that is possible, to presidents of leagues in the different places. Where there are no leagues I am sending them, by counties, to the Country Chairmen, hence this bundle for you. Hoping that you may find it of use in organising your County, I am, Very truly yours, Mabel C. Washburn Corresponding Secretary. Miss Rosamund Danielson Danielson, Conn. Miss Washburn rec.
