					<l>Jeffersonville, Vt.</l>
					<l>Nov. 24 1919</l>
					<l>Mrs. L. H. Olzendam</l>
					<l>Woodstock, Vt.</l>
					<l>Dear Madam:-</l>
					<l>Re- to your several inquiries</l>
					<l>regarding the calling of a special</l>
					<l>session of the Legislature to ratify</l>
					<l>the amendment I will say that</l>
					<l>I do not feel that I should be</l>
					<l>representing the women of Cambridge</l>
					<l>if I voted for the same, for this</l>
					<l>reason. So far as I can find</l>
					<l>one and one only of the women of this</l>
					<l>town availed themselves of the</l>
					<l>right to vote as provided by</l>
					<l>House Bill #1 so we naturally feel</l>
					<l>that the ladies of this town do</l>
					<l>not want to vote. What do you</l>
					<l>think.</l>
					<l>You will find that I voted</l>
					<l>each and every time for woman</l>
					<l>suffrage except I sustained</l>

					<l>the Gov. veto and on the</l>
					<l>same grounds should do so</l>
					<l>again.</l>
					<l>I trust that I have made</l>
					<l>myself clear. Wishing you</l>
					<l>every success I am</l>
					<l>Very truly yours</l>
