after a hint had been given that [...] or need probably be necessary: Moved, by Mrs. Catt that Mrs. Sewall be requested to abridge the transactions, so that they may be published for not more than $1.00 for each set. Unanimously adopted [The discussion developed the suggestion that the who transaction might more cheaply be printed in one volume, but this was not in the motion.] This motion was followed by another which I also made, moved that Mrs. Sewall be requested to compute the book, and after its compution, she shall be authorized to solicit subscriptions to the transactions at the price agreed upon at the previous motion, but she shall not be authorized to solicit contributions of money from the Internal Councils for the purposes of publishing the transaction. Unanimously adopted. This last motion was preceded by a discussion as to whether you had suggested in your letter the desirability of securing cash contributions from the Councils, or only suggested subscriptions to the book. Some thought one may and some another. The Councils thought could not give more, Then Mrs. Stritt also said that she thought subscriptions should not solicited until the books could be delivered

2 lest something should happen to prevent their [proriation?]. I therefore [...] what appeared to be the majority opinion in my motion. The latter clause I fear sounds a bit impudent, but it was not intended so by the move on the Council. I think my motions prevented more disagreable ones and also discussion which would have been [dispairing?] to you. I meant these so. Mrs. Gordon wished to have it clearly understood that she could do nothing which in the matter of these tranactions, and I was therefore deputized to explain to you, that you, and not Mrs. Gordon must appeal to the Council for subscriptions, and you must also deliver them. Nothing was said about the numbers she printed, but I venture my own opinion, that as few as [once?] fill the orders might give you in the matter. The Norway matter was so compromised there was nothing offensive left and all except Miss Krvg and I voted for it, and M did not vote at all. The Australian matter was left as proposed by Australia

The American delegates and Martina Kranners, were the only ones to vote against it. I think there was no other action which could be called fundamental, and indeed, the Norway, Australian and term of office questions go to the Quisquennial anyway. We did not do anything of real importance, I think, but we ate much and often. The IWC appointed six fratural delegates to the I.W.S. Alliance meeting in Copenhagen: Baroness Gripenberg, Joan Stritt, Mrs. Dobson of Tasmania, Mrs. Donohue of N.S. Wales, Dr. Sandalien of [...], Mrs. Chaponire-Chaix of Switzerland. Tell Miss Sheriff Baire, that I have just had a letter from Mrs. Napier saying that she may come to the Copenhagen gen meeting. With cordial greeting to you both and the regret that I cannot send you a fuller report. I am Yours, Carrie C. Catt

That I answered your letter of 15th Febr. at once, And return to you the letters of the Polish ladies. I remember it perfectly And have the note on your letter that It was replied to and the enclosures Returned. Possibly my reply and the Enclosures may have got lost amidst the Great number of [your] correspondance you have. I remember having given You the name of Miss Ada Wolska in Paris, And I later wrote to her about it, and she answered me that she had communicated on the subject with Mrs R.Palmer.

I feel exceedingly sorry about the mishap, But I can assure you that I am not guilty of it.

With most respectful regard, sincerely yours
