Copy of message sent Miss Kittredge quote my husband's two years serious illness my own long breakdown compelled me under doctors orders to give up all work. Hence my plea to you in [nineteen] twenty-two to communicate with Mexican women direct. Thank God Mr. Shadburne was miraculously spared to me. I am on the road to my old self. Thank God also my same American women leaders are still loyal friends with another big woman recently added to my list anxious to cooperate with me. Have tried to reach Mrs. Cumberson find they are in Honolulu. Will not return until end of March. Have been requested to take up most momentous issue. Must act immediately. May I hope for your support. Please ask Miss Addams if I am still on your list as Pacific Coast chairman Mexican Relations. My report took the shape of a good sized book which I am rushing to completion. Am sending by mail certified check for fifty dollars which I hope will cover all arrears. Put me on list as twenty-five dollar yearly contributor. Please answer by telegraph charge to me. Sincerely.
Victoria Mugarrieta Shadburne
