Dear Mrs. May Wright Sewell

I enclose a memo which I am sending out to the members of the I. C. W. Executive under standing order 6 of the Executive & hope you will approve of the action I am taking. There are so many difficulties in the way of a meeting of the Executive this year that this seems to be the plan with least objections. Kindly let me know if you agree.

Yours sincerely [?] Aberdeen [?]

as Pres't of the World's and National WCTU my time has been greatly engrossed and I could do but little for the Society.

That it might, and as I sincerely hope will become a power for good, goes without saying, also that any thing I can do as a lay member to subserve its interests, will be done. Please send this letter [in?] and let this resignation be accepted by our general officers and my successor chosen by them.

Your with best wishes, Frances E. Willard

again when I receive the reply.

I am very glad to hear that the weekly conferences have been so successful, and to receive your favourable report of the way in which they have been received in Paris.

Believe me

[and?] sincerely Kathleen Lyttleton

President National Council of Great Britain and Ireland

received that which you sent to St. Louis.

I heard yesterday a [lecture?] of Mrs. [Angelo?] concerning the World's Fair, and was very much interested in all she said - she mentioned [?] your name - and I [went?] up [to her?] to tell her that I know you personally - Please remember me [fondly?] to Mr. Sewall and your niece and let me hope that sooner or later I will meet you again. I never will forget the pleasant days under your hospitable roof. Very sincerely yours

M. Engalitcheff

Dear Mrs. May Wright Sewall

I enclose a memo which I am sending out to the members of the [I.?] C. W. Executive under Standing Order 6 of the Executive & hope you will approve of the action I am taking. There are so many difficulties in the way of a meeting of the Executive this year that this seems to be the [plan?] with [?] objections. Kindly let me know if you agree

that there is a train leaving Indianapolis for Chicago Friday afternoon or evening. If I can take a night train and still reach Chicago by Saturday at 9 a.m., I should be willing to speak Friday evening. Otherwise I shall be obliged to speak in the morning. I shall have to ask you to consult [Miss?] Charity Dye 188 Broadway. If I stay on until Friday evening (if the trains do run) I shall be obliged to speak to the High School

meanwhile, lying limp with tonsilitis. Should you care to use her "pome", I trust you will be the reader of it. You will observe that she insists on pronouncing the Greek "Tau" after the German standard. Or, if you choose, you can call "brow" as if it were "braugh!" Ms. Ames's love for Susan must have affected her like an inspiration; for I do not remember her dropping into rhyme till now since our wedding journey (1863) when we were en route between Albany & Lake Champlain. Then she broke out ---

"The Hudson rests her happy head Away the northern hills, And draws into her emerald bed The little snickering rills."

This you are not to use at Washington, though it may appear in Fanny's "collected works."

Do you know how happily your fellow-church folk at Spring Garden are getting on with Mr. Nichols, their new minister. I trust our non-resident member is doing us credit. Please come this way & report yourself now & then.

Yours, habitually, Chas. Gordon Ames
