I believein your letter of Dec. ist. which I have not

already answered. i - , I have omitted to say that I received th,
.0
SOC petitions by eXpress to-gether with explanatory slips. I an extreme»

1y interested in the corresPondance which has been going on between
eX—Senetor Blair, Hrs. Bldﬁh, yourself, and Miss Shaw. This amendgnt
which he prOposes in his hes memmorinl epLears to he of wonderful value
to our cause. I wish to expresSmyseldf very feelingly , however , ugon
the attitude Hr. ”lair takes towards women's suffrage ust as tharles
Sumner treated women's suffrage, when the negrm suffrage came uh in
competition with it, Mr. Blairg'pr090s£ﬂ'to make nf*snchisement

of the men of D. C. the first object, and women’s suffrage secondary.
It is true that he says that an ammeﬁment tohis memorial can he made,
if we wish to do so; (ghough he suggests that we can wait until the

amendment is carriedin a general form, and then to out on plea.

I wish touey in the most emphatic manner,‘é%éaffs tohggcleerly to

‘V

De prominent throughout the whole contention I am whof?ly unwilling
to take any part or interest in the méﬁter. I enen thiik I go as far
as Kiss :ordon, who says in a letter received to-dey, That if we do

not secure the umend'ment to the memorial, asking that the women of th

district be enfrenchised, she thinks we should throwmlmzence

and power we may have, in securing the defeat of this extention.
