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. StevensAlma Lutz Collection (COPY) NATIONAL WOMAN1S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION Portland, Maine 13 Jan. 1902 Miss Susan B.

East Orange, N.J. March 18th 1903 Dear Miss Anthony - Your letter -welcome as the spring-time - reached Mrs. Burdette this morning. And as I found a line or two in it for me, I am going to answer my part in it. What a memorandum-book of a memory you have? Doesn't it make a beautiful "traveling library" - These volumes of people and places and times that you can read at any time you will? And the pages shine forth a little more clearly in the dark than they do in the day time....

Doesn't it make a beautiful "traveling library" - These volumes of people and places and times that you can read at any time you will? And the pages shine forth a little more clearly in the dark than they do in the day time. People who have eyes in their brains never go blind. You refer to our meeting on the platform of the Friday morning Club in Los Angeles in '96. I was very proud of that honor. When I was a "cub reporter" on the Peoria, Ill. Transcript I "reported" a convention you held in that city. I'll never forget how you "slammed down" Tom Cratty - excuse my French - and he was our star lawyer. When I had the distinguished honor of having you in my audience at Johnstown, Pa. And I hope to see youmany times before you put on you wings. Mrs. Burdette says I need not monopolize all of her letter. But I will add this - you owe us a call. Pay it at "Sunnyrest" and see what good care we can take of you. Cordially your friend Robert J. Burdette. No; we didn't make any mistake when we came away from your home. That visit must have set our faces in the right direction - toward each other. Come and see!Robert J.
