and we ought to hold our National
Suffrage Con. there the last week of January
but alas the young & inexperienced delegates
have voted us out of Washington every
other year - & this of 1899 - is one of them - so
we go off to Grand Rapids Mich instead of to
Wash as we used to & ought to now -

I do think you could attend & speak
at each of these meetings - I do
want to go to Washington for all winter
more than I can tell but I have no
dear Mrs. Spafford there to give me free shelter in
the dear old Riggs - as of yore !!

Can you not make the date of your
Vassar lectures so that you can go to Wash ?
And can you not come & visit me in our
home & see how good it is for us to have a
house all to ourselves - Sister May & I Are
you coming to Geneva this winter - somehow
and somewhere I must see you to talk over
International [?] & England in General

I am trying to find a maid for stenographer
who is sort of our folks - so we can have her in our house
but where is the puzzling question -- I surely have not the
patience to scratch with my pen any more - after three years
with a stenographer & type writer at my elbow - so
with bushels of love to Nora, Mama & Maggie & your own dear self
