Christian temperance reformer and women’s suffragist (1839–1898), she was president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and influenced the adoption of the 18th and 19th Amendments. TLS, two pages, 8.25 x 11, Woman’s Christian Temperance Union letterhead, November 20, 1894. Letter to Rev. Francis E. Clark of the United Society of Christian Endeavor and his wife. In part: “My object in writing this brief letter is to thank you both for your kindness in sending me suggestions about our trip around the world which Lady Henry, Anna Gordon and I, with other White Ribbon women, hope to make ‘one of these days,’ and also to ask if it would be possible for us to secure your presence at our 20th Annual Convention of National W. C. T. U. in Cleveland…We expect Lady Henry to be with us, and we hope to have Neal Dow. I rejoice in the wonderful powers of our Brother Woolley, and believe he is raised up of heaven to help bring our young people to see what Christian citizenship really involves in the crisis of these times.” The two pages are affixed with glue along the top edge. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, and scattered wrinkles, creases, and toning.
