Dear Mrs. Colby,
I forward the enclosed letter hoping it may be something of advantage to you. It is not often that a letter comes, but valuable exchanges come to you here nearly every week. I am so busy that I have no time to transmit them or to read them. The paper coming from India ought to be stopped, and the valuable periodicals. I have written you about it with names before. You should have notified them all when you left. W.
Mrs. Brown was here in Sept, and I have promised her when Congress meets to have re-introduced the Federal Suffrage Bill in both Houses, and she expects to come to W. and argue them. In view of the trial of the Brown-Bradley case [?] and to continue for another week, with all of its salacious testimony, and her well known relation to Senator Brown, I doubt if it would be expedient, or beneficial, but I do not like to tell her so, I mail you one of our Daily papers, "The Times" that you

may see for yourself. This woman has won the sympathy of all the newspaper men, and largely of the general public, although she has willfully wrecked 2 homes, placed a stigma upon 4 children, 2 by Brown & 2 by Bradley, and hold in open adultery with the former at Salt Lake, until Brown's wife died of a broken heart. The Jury will probably discharge her, or disagree, and leave her free to wreck another home.
I have little patience with such [?] sympathy. She deliberately shot Brown with a pistol she had brought from Salt Lake City, for conditions about which she was as much to blame as he was. He could not have wiped out her wicked life by marrying her - but I have no sympathy for him. only for Mrs. Brown & his children. She confesses in open court to three abortions. Excuse this tirade.
I hope you are well and prosperous, What has become of "Zintka"?
With best wishes Belva A. Lockwood.

Dear Madam:-
There was left with my secretary the enclosed draft for a bill on the subject of woman suffrage. I must, as at present advised, decline to introduce this as I don't think it proper to provide by law for enforcing a constitutional provision and besides I don't think that Congress without a constitutional amendment could provide for voting, &c. as your bill contemplates. I have always, as you know, been favorable to womans suffrage wherever it could properly be brought about either by legislation or otherwise but I don't think that Congress has power to regulate suffrage in the states, at least that is my present opinion.
I would be glad to do anything for you.
Yours truly,
(Signed) J. Warren Keifer
