D.-- my mail may be directed to the care of Mr J. H. DeVal- Huron- S.D. - I shall not reach there until near May 1st- I have no doubt the three- for there are only three persons- who stand off- & say deliver over- will be all right-the minute I am there on the spot- Rev Annie Shaw commences a three weeks tour in S. D. on the 9th- I have made her route just to the chief cities- to give them a taste of her powers to rouse the people to action- - If I could be in two places at same time- which I've never learned to do- 1 should love to be in Boston at your May Anniversary! - I hope you'll raise $10,000- there- - If we only had money enough to pay not liberally but just the smallest pay- - but the $2,000 of our Com. is a mere bagatelle- wont carry but two or three speakers through the campaign- But I am getting some good Volunteer Service- Mrs Wallace- for one- but it is a shame to let her give her services for a month- - Oh- if the people who have "Millions" could only see that their cash service- wasn't a drop in the bucket of sacrifice compared with the offerings of 50 cts & $1 of the poor -- Think of Senator & Mrs Palmer sending $50,- it is good- but as I said- nothing- compared with the millions & millions the two possess!- So I hope you'll add 5. 10. 15. thousand to he N.
