VILLARD, FRANCES G May 18, 19087
Dear Mrs. Sewall:-
I am delighted to receive your welcome [budget?] of information, for I felt that I must be somewhat posted as to my duties, before deciding, absolutely, to undertake them. I am so heart and soul interested in the peace movement that I am sure that no one will be present at

The Hague who desires to help the cause along more than I do. I feel truly honored by your confidence in me and I shall certainly do the utmost in my power to be worthy of it. If you can tell me how to find Lady Aberdeen at The Hague, I shall be obliged. Probably you do not know, yourself, and I shall have to find her out when I get there. If the Dublin meeting of the executive takes place

after that of The Hague, I can be present at it, I suppose. Your suggestion that it be held at The Hague, is an admirable one and will, I hope, be carried out. I cannot tell you where I can find accommodations. I am writing to Hotel Witteburg, which is between Scheveningen and The Hague. My German Secretary, Mr. Ulbricht, is to accompany me. Is it also possible that my niece, Mrs. Norton, will

go with me. So seems too bad that you are to miss it all. I do hope that your affairs will soon be adjusted & the worst be behind you.
Yours will renewed thanks and best wishes, Your much indebted Fanny G. Villard
