TLS,; as Chairman of The Congresional Committee, National American Woman Suffrage Association, Washington, DC, October 7, 1916 on Association stationary, Dear sir ... accompanied by a blank form asking for the recipient's position of woman suffrage and an envelope addressed to Mr. John Francis of Marion Ohio.
The letter and form are 8-1/2 x 11 in. The letter notes that Francis has not responded to an earlier inquiry and "That woman suffrage is recognized as one of the vital questions of this year's political campaign ..." The questionaire asks if the candidate is in favor of woman suffrage; if he will vote in Congress to submit the amendment to the states and if appointed to a committee with jurisdiction will he do all in his power to expedite the amendment? Envelope soiled, sheets show old folds, very good condition. Scarce. We have never seen one of these before. Item #36294
