Letter to Duniway from Emma Smith DeVoe (1915)

Description:

May 26, 1915. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, 170 Ford Street, Portland, Oregon. My dear Mrs. Duniway: I am sending you a bundle of our stationery for fear Dr. King's will not reach you in time for use. I have received a letter from Mrs. Cline and her membership fee, and thank you more than I can tell for it. Everything seems to be going fairly well. I am very, very anxious about our Convention. I have been entertaining Mrs. Bellamy of Wyoming at my home. She is deeply interested in the Council and is doing her best to get a large delegation to attend our convention. She was formerly a state representative. I thank you very much for your generosity in helping the Doctor pay the bill for our stationery. You are always doing some kind act like that to the Council, and you don't know how I appreciate it. Mrs. Mason has given more than the other State Presidents, because she lives here and knows more about the Council and its needs. Please urge Dr. Coe to attend the convention. With love and deep appreciation, "EMMA SMITH DEVOE P.S. I am sending leaflets to Mrs. Lear [?] today. If you need more of them to advertise our con [sic], I'll send them to you. I spoke in the large Christian Ch. here last Sunday night on Illinois Day — and we passed them around in the audience — 2 people in the Universalist Ch. [rest is missing].
