NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS, 505 FIFTH AVE. NEW YORK

August 2nd 1911

My dear Mrs. McCulloch

As there seems to be considerable confusion as to the
proposed lease of our Headquarters at 505-5th Avenue, I think it
may be well for me to explain the situation as I understand it.

When the proposal to take a lease here until May
lst failed to receive more than four votes, I consioered that
‘propOBitiOn clased. But I t ought at that time the Board under-
stood fully Mrs. Belmont's offer of $li000 and that we hoped to

raise the rest of the rent by sub-lett ng our rooms.
Therefore, when I sent my letter suggesting the six

months' lease, I supposed all the conditions to be fully understood,

and so I did not repeat them, but I adfied the offer than before

us of the College League $1,400. I did not consider my let-

ter a formal vote, of course. I have no authority to send out

a vote, but I thought the informal vote could be later turned into

a formal one if necessary, and that everyone voting informally in

favour of the lease would be estopped from voting otherwise in the

formal vote.

On tins proposition Mrs. Bennett voted yes for her-
self and for Miss Shaw; so did Miss Blackwell and I. Mrs. Stewart's
only condition was that the National should not pay more than six
hundred dollars for the six months, and since we did not expect to
. pay more than that, I took her vote to be favorable also. This
explains why I thought the vote stood squarely five in favor of a
six months lease. .

Now it seems the Board did not understand Mrs. Bel-
mont's conditions, so, of course, votes given without a knowledge
of the terms are not binding, and the whole agreement with our land-
lord is off.

So I found myself in a very awkward position. We

had received the lease and I had sent it to o for i a ur and
also for your legal oyinion and had asked yot to song gt to fire.

 

 Mrs. McCulloch, --- #20

Stewart for the seal. I notified theagent that I had done 50.

Of course, he thought the question was settled. But naturally,

I have no power to bind out Association. So Monday, when the
agent called up, I told him the lease was chasing round the country
and that I had no poner to bine the National for six months. He
said our lease expires tooay (MOnday) and asked me if I could give
him a check for one month, pending the settlement of the question.
It seemed to me that I had authority to do this and that there was
nothing else for me to do. I have no order, #0 favorable vote,
but I have what seems to me the sanction of all to stay until the
Convention. So I said yes, I would give him a check for $416.67,
one month's rent, at the rate of $5,000 per year. He then agreed
to let the matter rest far a week or ten days, pending our Board’s
decision. It seems to me they are treating us very fairly under
the circumstances.

In the meantime, Mrs. Belmont has withdrawn one of
her conditions, Miss Clay has agreed to let her vote stand, except
as to accepting Mrs. Belmont'e donation.

So we have four informal votes upon the six months'
term, with all conditions fully understood, and I hope we may get
one more vote in favor; otherwise, we are in an awkward positione

Hoping that I have at least made my own position clear

Cordially yours

My dear Miss Clay;

By Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont‘e directions, I am
enclosing copy of letter received from Miss Perle Penfield,
Secretary to Miss Breckenridge, together with copies of suf—
frage songs referred to therein. Will you please select the
song which you think should receive the prize, and notify
Mies M. Eleanor Breckenridge, San Antonio, Texas, of your
choice.

Very truly yours,

11? West Park Ave.,
San Antonio, Texas, July 1, 1911.

Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont,
505 Fifth Avenue,
New York.
My dear Mrs. Belmont;

By this mail are being sent to you, as chairman of the
committee of judges, the twelve best songs to the tune of "Dixie" re~
ceived in the competition for the $100.00 prize offered by
Miss M. Eleanor Brackenridge of this City. For expedition and con-
venience in judging, as the judges cannot meet together, seven copies
of each of the songs were made, and are being sent to you that you may,
if you think best, sumbit them to all the judges simultaneously.

The original copies of the songs are retained here. In
copying, the punctuation of the authors has been followed, also of course,
the exact wording; but the spacing of the lines and their arrangementhae
been altered in many cases to permit of the songs being typed on one
sheet of paper. Please tell your judges, therefore, that the form,
appearance of manuscript, spelling, etc, are not to be taken into account
in picking the winner;— only the sentiment, wording and fitness to the

music.
In making the selection of the songs to be submitted to your

committee, all the songs sent in were independently passed upon by three
different sets of agents persons who picked out the fifteen they deemed
the best, and the twelve were taken from their list.

Miss Brancekridge is at present on board her yacht, but
the songs were copied and sent to you by her directions.

Sincerely yours,
(Signed) PERLE PENFIELD

Suffrage Secretary to Miss Brancenridge
