Huron, S.D.

My dear Mrs. Pyle:

Would you be willing to write an article on
"The benefit of Registration of Women as I saw it at Washington"? We
need such an article for publication in this community. We would like
to have this over your personel signature as Vice Chairman of the
Woman Committee.

Dr. Helen S. Peabody, writes, that Washington Headquarters are
patiently awaiting an account of the State organization of the South
Dakota Division, and I have been receiving very insistent letters
from the National Headquarters upon that subject. They think I have
been very remiss in sending this information, but I have been unable
to do so, as the confirmations for which Dr. Peabody has asked for
have not all come in. We are still awaiting your confirmation of
Mrs. Ellwood Perisho, Chairman of the Liberty Loan Committee.

The article which I have asked for from you, we would use as
a state wide panphlet, and would you have it printed in such form
as the enclosed, and have it sent to Headquarters for distribution. Do
you think 3000 would be sufficient?

The citizens of Sioux Falls have most willingly responded to
all request of the Woman's Committee, and have given us a very large
comfortable room for State Headquarters. They ahve also donated all the
furniture, etc.
