l would appreciate 1t very much If you
VIII urge upon the members of your clubs
ana all other writer's, tho Importance OF
contributing to the literary Representation
OF Texas. State pride should be great In
centive in this matter. Texas has nos
very cnviable reputation at a distance. and
fine literary presentation from her women
would contribute more to establish for her
u correct educational and culture status
than anything else
No doubt exists as to her mineral, agri-
