Miss Susan B. Anthony:
My Dear Miss Anthony:
I thank you for your kind and interesting letter of Jan. 9th, and I note with deep interest all that you write of the National Council, the effort to secure a desirable president, etc. I should judge Mrs. Tod Helmuth would make an excellent president, but I very much fear she will not undertake it.
I am looking forward with pleasure to meeting you at Washington. I very much wish Anna and I could be there earlier than Feb. 19th, but the pressure of our work is so great that it will be impossible.
Anna was appointed delegate to the Biennial meeting of the Council. I think our Secretary has notified the President and Corresponding Secretary. I am sure she will prove a very good delegate, for she is well informed on general topics and has come to be a very good speaker indeed.
As I am to see you so soon I will not prolong this letter. Anna joins me in loving good wishes.
Very sincerely yours,
Lillian M.N. Stevens
