A letter from one OF the Rhode Island
delegates to the biennial. Mrs George ii.
Corey has just been received by the

The letter is as follows: 1--WE are pass
ing through Cedar Rapids and all Is well.
The country is interesting and every
thing in nature a little more forward than
when we left Providence at i0:07 "a. m,
April %. We lunched in Boston and at
i0:30 were all placed I'm the drawing rooms
and sections assigned ready for the start
at 2 O'Clock. Crowds OF people were at
the terminal station to see the New Eng
land party off. The train Is i'm two divi-
sions, No. l and No. 2, so all the Rhode
Island women are not on the same train.
After a fine ride through the Berkshire
Hills. crossing the Connecticut river, we
reached Springfield. where a good supper
awaited the party.
Boarding the train again everybody
seemed TO put off restraint and little
groups were everywhere. discussing the
vexed question of the color line and IL
was learned that most Of the delegates
were going uninstructed how to vote and
all wanted desired information.
"The club spirit predominated every
where, and one caught more and more
enthusiast SIN as the train sped on We
viewed Niagara Thursday morning and
passed through many interesting places
during the day We had two hours In
Chicago and then all aboard TO proceed
westward. The little groups now became
larger and talks and discussions OF what
was I'm prospect at Los Angeles filed the
evening hours
1--WE are having a real genuine god
time and growing mot In grace particu-
larly). but I'm the intellectual strength re-
sulting from association with minds that
have grasped and grappled with momen-
tous questions"
