Dec. 3rd, 1919 Mrs G. W. Patterson Randolph Vermont Dear Mrs Patterson:

I am enclosing a letter which explains itself inasmuch as the reply to my letter to the Representative from Brookfield, Mr. Clark, is written on the back of same.

I notice that he heads his letter Randolph Center altho he is supposed to represent Brookfield. Now I feel that if you or one of your good co-workers could call on this gentheman and set him right perhaps he will change his mind and sign the petition. He makes altogether too sweeping a statement about the men and women being antis, for in looking over the petitions that were signed there last year I find a large number of names of both sexes from not only Brookfield but also from R. Center.

A largrer percentage of men signed the petition in Randolph than in any other town in the State, and my figures say that 56 women and 26 men signed in Brookfield. Now that is surely a large enough number to make any man sit up and take notice. He might rather listen to one of his own townswomen on the subject. I will enclose the petition slip with return envelope in case he may be prevailed upon to change his mind. I note that Bertha M. Luce, Olive M. Tracy, and Vernice Lovett are among the canvas- sers in Brookfield, while you and Mrs Metzger got many names in the Center.

Please let me know what success you have, as I crave every name I can possibly get on this petition to the Governor.

Best wishes and kind regards, Sincerely yours,
