My dear Mrs Pelley:

If nothing happens I shall go to St.J. with Dr. Horton next Friday the 24th and she expects to get there about noon.

Now I shall have to depend on your good graces to find someone with a car who will either take or send me to some of your outlying towns to get signatures. I will enclose list of some that I want to visit unless by that time I shall have heard from them by mail. Have just returned from another flying trip which was more than successful because I got two violent antis that I had not counted upon at all. I already have a large majority of the Senate, and two thirds of a majority of those I must have in the House. It's only a case of being able to reach them and you know as well as do I that a car is the only possible solution. It is possible that Mrs Bailey would send me for the afternoon(Dr. will start back after supper probably) or if not, and Mr. Pelley could spare the time we could use the Doctor's car. There must also be other members of your league who have cars and perhaps could do their bit for suffrage in that way.

Of course you saw editorial in yesterday's Burlington Free Press-it only bears out my assertion that there is "a nigger in the woodpile"-things like that only make my work harder! Dr. would like very much to have you discover who was responsible for that article. Do you suppose it was that Miss Edwards who is in the state working for the Republican party? I run on to her everywhere.

Hope things are moving smoothly for you and yours-we are in my mother’s old home for the present but the furnace not being in working order, we are having rather a hard time to keep warm and do all the things we have to do. Let me know as soon as possible about the foregoing and oblige very much your friend,
