My dear Mrs. Hull:
I am sending you a copy of the letter I have sent out to the list of Branches with which Miss Surles provided me. It seems a long explanation but I am sure the matter will be quite clear now and that it will be plain sailing for the rest of time.
I sent you the other day a letter from Miss Woods and one from Jeanette Rankin meaning to write a note with them. I hope you were not bewildered by having the two letters arrive without explanation. What I meant to say was that I wished we might retain the services of two such good women and I wish we could make them [coequal] or something that would save us difficulty. I think J. R. west of the Mississippi is all right although I can well understand the Boston criticism of her address there. I supposed Miss Woods would not consider any arrangement as simply publishing their names under the general title of Secretaries. I am suggesting this out of the blue as it were. It may not even be desirable.
Miss Brite wrote me she had sent you a copy of Mr. Bettman’s proposal. Isn't it interesting that we will probably fall heir to $10,000. I suppose it belongs to the National and not to the International. It will be a great thing to have money in the bank if only we can have something to borrow from, will it not?
