Minutes of April 20th. Read [May?] 3rd,
The semi-monthly meeting
of the Louisville Equal Rights Asso.
was held Saturday, April 20th.

The meeting was opened by
scripture reading and prayer, by
the President.

The minutes of the previous
meeting were accepted as read.

Mrs. Josephine K. Henry's letter
which had been read at previous
meeting was re-read for further
consideration, and the Sec'y was
instructed to write in reply that
while we are in sympathy with
her noble work, we do not feel
confident, in our infancy to pledge
ourselves to make the Property
Rights Bill our chief work of the
year; yet it shall be among
the foremost of our aims to render
her every possible assistance, and
co-operate with her just as far as
lies within our strength.

The Treasurers report showed
$10.00 in the Treasury, and no
disbursements.

A discussion followed as to
the object of this Association; a
member having asked for information
as to whether this was solely
a Suffrage Asso., saying that "If it
had other aims, there were many
women who would become members".
