Dear Miss Clay,Mrs. Stewart and Miss Blackwell,

It has been a long time since I wrote you any gossip
in regard to curiae; Association. There is hardly a day that
something does not transpire which you ought to know and of
which I have learned but have not time to write you. I was
sick in bad all day yesterday and have been leading up to that
condition for sometime. Mrs. Kelley was in Youngstown Saturday
and I went down to see her. She had not heard anything from
Headquarters and I told her what I knew. It seems that Miss
Shaw is very much better than she has been in months. Mrs.
Potter, as Mrs. Stewort knows, has been very sick and is not
going to be able to do wish between now and convention time
except a little office work. She had to cancel all of her an-
gagements. Wasn't that a pity?

Mrs. Mackay has given out to the papers that she
is not auxiliary to our association, that we had no business to
put her name on the letter head, and that she has an association
quite as important and as much ofa national character as ours
is. You know how I stood on that auxiliaryship question. But
maybe it was Just as well that Miss Shaw took that upon herself
because if she had. not people would have said that if we had

let Mrs]. Mackay in to our association she would not have

 

 #2cses

formed an association of her own. , So all's Well that ends well.
Mrs. Harper and Miss Shaw lave had some sort of a falling out.
This is not the first time. They have been spatting back and
forth for a number of weeks now. The other day Mrs. Harper
went into Miss Shaw's room for something and when she came back
she said that she was never going into Miss Shaw's room again;
that Miss Shaw insulted her every time she appeared there. I
do not get this information from Elizabeth. She never tells me
anything about matters in the press bureau. In the meantime
Mrs. Belmont has gotten disgusted with all the quarreling and
the fussing and she left the office the other day, went home and
wrote Mrs. Harper 8. note saying she could work better at home
and flat she would not be back. This made Miss Peck and some
of the rest in Headquarters a little anxious because they say
Mrs. Belmont has been in the office every day she was'in town
since last September. It seems Mrs. Harper tried to write a i
conciliatory letter and make things all right, but was not

very successful.

Mrs. Maokay has withdrawn from the New York Legisla-
tive Committee and I think she said she was through with them.
I am not positive about this. Mrs. Maokay was sad because Mrs.
Belmont was allowed to arrange 111s March 9th. Albany meeting.
Mrs. Mackay. was also mad because she had arranged this first
hearing, and after everything was all arranged, Mrs. Belmont
put up some bulletins showing the difference in wages paid

to men and women and in this list were the telegraph com-

panies, showing how poorly mmen were paid. Mr. and Mrs.

 

 #3csas

Maekay went into the meeting, and as they largely own the

telegraph companies of the United Stat es, Mrs. Mackay was
furious and it is said that Mr. Maokay had hard weak to hold
her down to keep her from going in there and having the workmen
tear down the banners. So as I read it, Mrs. Belmont is cross
at Mrs. Harper, Mrs. Harper is cross at Miss Shaw,Mrs. Maokay
will have nothing more to do with the New Yolk State society
and Miss Shaw is out of patience with Mrs. Mackay because she
is organizing National societies in states where we have
associations, and altogether it is a beatuiful, sweet state of
things.

Mrs. Belmont is likewise mad at the New York
association. In the meantime, the question of woman's ad—
vancement goes on.

Miss Beck writes me that she is not going to serve
another year and she wants to tell Miss Shaw so that things can
he planned early. She may,howeverm change her mind after she
sees Mrs. Potter, although it is Mrs. Potter who is urging her
to leave. Mrs. Potter is very wretched and she is going to rest
a year and she wants Miss Peek torest too.

I think we will arrive at a better conclusion what
to do if we know these things as they happen. I must say I
have given no guessing. I have heard indirectly that Miss
Shaw was going to run Mrs. Belmont for Treasurer. But I do not
think there is anything in this.

I am going'to send the Business Committee a letter

in regard to the Treasurer’s work in a few days. I am just

giving you this gossip so you will be ready when the tattle
is on.

Dear Miss Clay,

Miss Shaw_thinks that our vote to borrow a thous—
and dollars for Oklahoma is sufficient to warrant out
borrowing your thousand dollars, regardless of whether
there is a special or a general election. Therefore
the majority of the committee will be Willing to sign
Mr. Upton's note, which seems to suit you, and it will
soon get around to you. If you are Willing to send me
the thousand dollars before that note reaches you,trust~
ing me to make it right in case anything slips, I mean
of course officially, I shall be glad to have you do so.
Miss Shaw does not seem to know what to do about Okla-
homa. She really has bothered with so many little things
that she is hardly fit to grapple with such a big one and
I do not know as any of us would be. At least two mem-
bers of the committee feel, I am told, that it is utterly
useless to proceed there if there is to be a general elec—

tion. However, you will hear about this from Miss Shaw

in a few days I think, because Mrs. Avery is going to

New York to help her decide some important things.
Cordially'yours,

Dear Miss Clay and Miss Blackwell,

I am going to ask you a question Which you are
at liberty to answer or not. I do not know as it is any
of my business. I feel sure whatever you do, both of you,
you do honestly and fairly. Why do you give money direct

to the Oklahoma campaign, as you have done ever since

it began, instead of sending it through the treasury?

I think the moral effect is not very good. Mrs. Boyer is
an extremely extravagant person. I always shiver when

I get her bills. For instance, in the one which has just
come, she pays $5 00 a box for carbon paper which we get
for $1 25. Formerly she did not consult us in regard to
expenditures and it always troubled me greatly. But

now that we all know she is extravagant, that her ideas
are great, entirely too great according to my notion, but
still We hired her, I do not think we ought to complain
to_he£ about her'bills. It never did any good when I

did it before and now I think we are responsible and not
she. When you send her money direct, as you have Just
sent $500 00, she does not feel that the National was
giving that, and she feels that she can have just as

nmch from the National as if she did not have that.

 

 #2CéB

have not nentioned this to any of the rest of the Board

but i would like to know if yot. do not see it in this
light. When we used to have campaigns on, I always had
some Unney tucked away which we could use, the Banker
bequest, the Hussey bequest or the Lewis gift, &0. but \
now we are absolutely down to bed rock. We owe the
Thomas Garrett Fund $1000 00, (of course they will not
press that) and I have in my desk bills amounting to
about $800 00 and have no money with which to pay

them. I am writing the official board in regard to
this and Will not elaborate on it here, but I am won—
dering if you do not see the above matter as I do. I

shall be glad to hear from you in regard to it.

Cordially yours,

Dear Wiss fllsy,

I lrve really not told vou to what extent pressure
has been brought to bear on me to stand ;for p.resident.
It has been awful. find I lave been.terribly unhappy in
reggird to it. "he mire I know of the nnnrgement of
headquarters under Miss thaw, the more I know that somebody
ought to stand against her. I have had to ndmit,however,
that I am not brave enough.to do it. The condition has
absolutely made me ill, but sitar writing many letters,
and begging nzd pleading, I have gotten these oeonle
to say they will not hailing propose my name in any form.
No one knows how this relieves me. .t allows me to be
free to stand ibr the separation of headquarters fn3m
hiss Shaw, for the election of some one else for president
if possible, and for the elimination of Lucy Anthony from
our work. I mean from our headquarters. It seems almost
necessary for us to choose our second vice nresident from
New York city. Therm is talk thst Mrs. Belmont will run.
People seem to agree that Anna Garlin dpencer, who is a mem-
ber of nearly all New Vork associations, is not affiliated
with any faction, would hive nmch back bone to stand up for
what is right. I think she would make a good candidate.
Some peonle even su:w 59st her for president. Mrs. 'very
he s refused to stand for corresponding secretary principally
because riiSS Shaw will not agre e to having the headquarters
separated. from Mrs. Belmont;snd Elizabeth who seemed to be
the despised one at “cattle, and whom Miss Shaw said she
did not want to inve in Headquarters, has been asked by
Miss Shaw to stand for corresponding sec. etary. This she
has refused to do. hrs. Harper will not be cna.innan of
the press work aid it is doubtful if Elizabeth will be milln
ing to take her place. So at this writing, after nine
months of trial, Miss Shaw and Mrs. Belmont stand d_one in
our great headquarters on 5th. avenue.

My ihther is better and if nothing happens I now

etpect to leave for “s shin3ton Sunday night.

I meant to write you yesterday to send the books “by
Express to me at the ~rlingtgn. __‘

Dear Miss Clay,

Miss Blackwell has had indigestion which affected
her heart and she is not able to do much work. I have
written her in regard to auditing the books and she and
I both think that you better ask someone in Lexington to
help you with the auditing. That is, agpoint an auditor
pro tem. If you get an accountant or someone who cannot
work without pay, Miss Blackwell will be very glad to
reimburse her. I think this is by far the best thing
we can do. The books are ready to go to you and I have
been waiting for some receipts from Miss Shaw. I wrote
her again yesterday and wrote also to Mrs. Stewart think—
ing possibly Mrs. Stewart had sent them to Mrs.Stewart,
telling them both they must get them here at once.

Mrs. Avery is here for a day or two. I wish I
could see you. Things are developing so fast that I
cannot any longer keep up the gossip with you. I am
hoping something will turn up at Eashington to make things
easier; but of one thing I am convinced, that if Miss Shaw
is reelected president, we simply must have Headquarters
taken away from her or take her away from the Headquar-
ters. It is possible that we may take them to Washington.

ucy is laying her plans to have a person in Headquarters
who will be amenable to herself and Miss Shaw, and then when
this correSponding secretary is away or indisposed, Lucy
will haVe the management. At Seattle I let three or four
important things go by without taking my stand, a stand
which I now know I ought to have taken. 1 never will
do it again no matter What the circumstances areand I
never will vote to give power to Lucy Anthony or to
elect anybody to any office who will be dominated ny her.
I consider her the nnst harmful person we have in our
ranks. Mrs. Avery does not agree with me about this.

She thinks she is harmful but she things Mrs. Harper has
done us more harm than anyone else. She does not think
Mrs. Harper can help it and she says she is not immoral,
she is just unmoral. I presume these things are planned
for us in a certain way and we may get sons lesson from
them,but unless we are pretty steady headed and pretty
vuolent, the association certainly will go to pieces. I
told Elizabeth this sometime ago and she hardly believed
me but now she writes that she thinks unless something
resuscitates us, the old National association has it
has been will not live long. She ought to know.

Cordially yours,
