confidence,
The men who came to the Confrence must of left Framingham with a great impression on their minds for they saw with their own eyes & heard with their own ears the great work you are doing here for the Women of Framingham
Dr Van Waters yor yourself looked very lovely sitting there - and I was very sorry that I could not (here) hear Mr Austin McCormick speak
You & you alone have put Framingham in the eyes of the people
God Bless you Always & Keep you my Friend
P.S I have yet to receive my telegram

I want to different work and so couldn't but haven't forgotten anyone I would like to come to a Rangers Meeting sometime in August and spend the day. I would like so much to express myself and how I feel towards helping someone else. In all the years I have done there I have gained something and Im not sorry because it made me see what is right and what is wrong. I always loved the Rangersand what that stood for and the good times we had, and the plays you had put on that helped the girls feel wanted
