My dear Mrs. Whitley; -
I managed to go thru Mr. Smith's pockets and discover your letter, yesterday.  I shall be glad to do anything I can to further this most important phase of the Women's Work, but hope you do not call the State meeting until after I return from Washington.  Congress is over the 19th but I shall probably not return until the 23 or so -- You omitted the "form letter"  which you mention, so I know practically nothing of the work. You know possibly that Mr. Smith owns the newspaper here so that may help.  I am glad if you really liked the quartette it was a venture at best and not a finished affair.  I sing very little any more. Too many other (over)
