My dear Mrs. Pyle:
I have not fogotten that I propsoed to raise $500.00 of our $1000.00 I wonder how soon we must have it to prove our good faith.
I had just time to do what [illegible] was for me before I was taken seriously ill alone in my sisters apartment.
I was in bed, with a prof nurse until Feb. 1st during which time my sister came home from her holiday trip to Florida and, following the fashion in W-, fell on icy street and broke her wrist.

I am well enough now to begin going out and am going to the Rhode Island house and see if I can do any definite work there.
I hope you are feeling well and hae escaped all accidents. My sister was one of 18 broken wrists which were set by one surgeon - not mentioning other limnbs etcetra. Our doctor set his wife's arm and his daughter's leg broken in two places in one day. I was too ill to go to the House for the vote - but my sister left her school and went to tell me about it.
Do you think Mr. Dillon will be returned? I reget the loss of Royal Johnson Is there anything you wish me to do or any suggestion? I shall be here all of this month I think - possibly a little longer. Hear only good news from the Fairbank family.
Will you or can you send me a list of names of Preseidents of Suffrage
